Colfax Elementary School

What Colfax Elementary School does

Colfax Elementary School District (CESD) is a California government local education agency operating a single K-8 public school in the rural mountain community of Colfax, Placer County, under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Education. The district delivers core K-8 instruction alongside a comprehensive suite of support services, including after-school care, food services, transportation, athletics, mental health and wellness counseling, special education (with resource specialists and paraprofessionals), Speech-Language Pathology services, a school psychologist, library services, and a Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) framework. Its operational motto is "Creativity, Community, Leadership," and governance is provided by an elected Board of Trustees with Dr. Andrew Giannini serving as Superintendent.

The district's technology footprint is built on Google Workspace for Education and a 1:1 Chromebook program, with the Aeries Student Information System (hosted via the Placer County Office of Education) powering the Parent Portal for grades, attendance, and teacher communication. The digital presence — website and iOS/Android mobile apps — is delivered through Apptegy, while back-office functions rely on Public School Works (safety and compliance), Stop It Solutions (anonymous safety reporting), SIMBLI/eBoard Solutions (board governance), and EdJoin (staff recruitment). A recently hired District Technologist leads in-house IT and new technology rollouts.

CESD's revenue model is government funding: state apportionment under the Local Control Funding Formula, categorical program funds, and local property taxes. No tuition is charged to district residents, with limited fee-based optional programs such as after-school care. The district operates as a direct-to-consumer public service provider, enrolling families and students directly through its registration office with no intermediaries. As a government LEA, CESD has no venture or private equity ownership; oversight is provided by the California Department of Education, and the district is bound by California public-sector procurement, employment, and accountability rules.
