Cinnabar Vineyards & Winery

What Cinnabar Vineyards & Winery does

Cinnabar School District is a single-school public TK-8 district established in 1859, serving approximately 220 students at 286 Skillman Lane in Petaluma, California. The district operates Cinnabar Elementary and Charter School, providing free public education funded through California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF/LCAP), the Education Protection Account (EPA), and a $2.5 million General Obligation Bond (Measure J, 2014) financed via local property taxes. Its core educational program spans Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade with 15 classroom teachers, 9 instructional aides, and additional support staff including a school psychologist, speech therapist, nurse, counselor, and technology director.

The district's technology platform centers on a 1:1 device-per-student model (Chromebooks for TK-8, tablets for TK-K), integrated through the Aeries Student Information System for enrollment and student data, and the ParentSquare communication platform for multilingual parent notifications. Instructional delivery relies on a curated set of third-party educational software including Renaissance Learning for assessment, Lexia PowerUp for literacy, Imagine Learning, McGraw Hill Envision (math) and Wonders (reading), and Khan Academy for supplemental instruction. The district operates an Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP) providing free before- and after-school care from 6:45 AM to 6:00 PM, plus free School Breakfast and Lunch programs including a second-chance breakfast service.

The business model is non-commercial: as a California public school district, Cinnabar charges no tuition and generates no direct customer revenue. Its "customers" are district-resident families with school-aged children within the Petaluma attendance boundary, enrolled through Aeries Online Enrollment. Distribution is exclusively on-campus at the Skillman Lane facility, with parent engagement channeled through School Site Council (SSC), PBIS Team, and English Language Parent Advisory Committee (ELPAC). Strategic partnerships with the Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE) for substitute teacher management and credentialing, and with EDJOIN for recruitment, complete the operational footprint. Note: input data refers to "Cinnabar Vineyards & Winery" but all source material describes Cinnabar School District, a public education entity rather than a commercial winery.
