Eureka Union School District

What Eureka Union School District does

Eureka Union School District is a publicly governed TK-8 California school district headquartered in Granite Bay, Placer County, founded in 1925-1926 (celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2026). The district serves approximately 3,361 students across seven school sites — three TK-3 elementary schools (one with preschool), two 4-6 elementary schools, and two 7-8 junior high schools — covering a 15-square-mile area spanning Granite Bay and East Roseville. All graduates feed directly into Granite Bay High School in the Roseville Joint Union High School District, creating a seamless K-12 pathway.

The district's core technology footprint is a 1:1 device program (iPads for Kindergarten and 1st grade with classroom charging carts, Chromebooks for grades 2-8) supported by PowerSchool as the student information system and CatapultK12 for website and communications. A curated suite of over 20 district-approved educational applications — including ST Math, iReady, BrainPop, GoGuardian, EdPuzzle, Mystery Science, Scratch, Vex, Khan Academy, Code.org, and Zearn — provides curriculum, assessment, and creative platforms across K-8. Both branded iOS and Android mobile apps extend parent communication and resource access.

EUSD operates on a publicly funded revenue model combining state Average Daily Attendance funding, local property tax revenue, and supplemental private donations through the Eureka Schools Foundation (over $350,000 raised annually, more than $7 million cumulative over 20+ years). Transportation services generate marginal fee-based revenue via tiered bus passes ($221-$1,060 annually). The district is considering a $48 million school improvement bond measure for the November 2026 ballot. Despite receiving less state funding than other California districts, EUSD maintains the highest Academic Performance Index score across Placer, Sacramento, Yolo, El Dorado, and Nevada counties every year since the API's inception, with CAASPP proficiency rates approximately twice the state average in ELA and Math.

Revenue model

1. State and Federal Education Funding: Primary funding comes from the State of California based on Average Daily Attendance (ADA), supplemented by categorical federal and state funding restricted to specific programs and students. The district receives less federal and state funding than other California districts.
2. Local Property Tax Revenue: Property taxes from within district boundaries constitute a core portion of unrestricted general funding per student. Property taxes alone are described as insufficient to fully fund the district.
3. Eureka Schools Foundation (ESF) Private Donations: The ESF non-profit foundation bridges budget gaps by raising over $350,000 per year for enrichment programs including technology, libraries, athletics, music, and teacher innovation grants. Since formation, ESF has contributed over $7 million to supplement the EUSD budget.
4. School Bus Transportation Fees: Transportation services are partially funded through bus pass fees, including annual full-day, annual half-day, fall semester, and 4-ride punch card options. Annual full-day passes range from $381 (early bird, 1 student) to $1,060 (3+ students). Some families qualify for free transportation based on income eligibility.
5. Potential School Improvement Bond Measure: The district is considering placing a $48 million school improvement bond measure on the November 2026 ballot to fund facility repairs and upgrades, projected to cost approximately $25 per $100,000 in assessed property value. If approved, bond proceeds would fund infrastructure improvements.
