Black Oak Mine Unified School District

What Black Oak Mine Unified School District does

Black Oak Mine Unified School District (BOMUSD) is a California public K-12 school district headquartered in Georgetown, El Dorado County, operating under the authority of the California Department of Education and the El Dorado County Office of Education. Founded in 1975, the district serves more than 1,200 students across four schools plus a charter program spanning Transitional Kindergarten through 12th grade: Georgetown School (TK-8), Golden Sierra Junior Senior High School (7-12), Northside Elementary School (TK-5), and American River Charter School (TK-12). Its core offering is public education delivered through in-person instruction with a 19:1 student-to-teacher ratio and a 92% graduation rate at the high school, supplemented by career and technical education pathways, arts and enrichment, and student wellness programming. Supporting infrastructure includes a Community Resource Center, an on-campus Sierra Child and Family Services Wellness Center, and a Family and School Together (FAST) program that connects families with county resources.

The district's technology layer is built on commodity K-12 administrative SaaS rather than proprietary systems. ParentSquare serves as the district-wide family communication and document-delivery backbone (announcements, event RSVP, secure report-card and IEP delivery); Aeries functions as the student information system and enrollment/parent portal; Clever provides student single sign-on for educational resources; MySchoolBucks handles meal payments; and EdJoin is used for recruitment. Identity federation is split between Google SSO and Microsoft 365. There is no disclosed proprietary technology, app, API, SDK, or AI/ML capability.

BOMUSD is a government state entity, not a private commercial enterprise. Funding flows from California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) apportionments, federal categorical grants (including the Community Eligibility Provision, which makes all student meals free for the 2025-26 school year), local property taxes, and donor/contributed support through partners such as Aspire Kids. Bus pass fees have been waived for 2025-26. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; enrollment-based per-pupil funding and a 251-500 employee headcount are consistent with a mid-single-digit to low-double-digit million-dollar operating budget. Go-to-market is enrollment-based rather than sales-led; the district "acquires" students through geographic catchment, charter enrollment, and community outreach via ParentSquare and the district website. No parent company, private ownership, shareholders, or external investors exist.
