Mt. Shasta Union School District

What Mt. Shasta Union School District does

Mount Shasta Union School District (MSUSD) is a public TK-8 school district operating under the California public education system, headquartered at 595 E. Alma St., Mount Shasta, California. The district serves approximately 506 enrolled students across two campuses: Mount Shasta Elementary School (grades TK-3, principal Sarah Jankowski) and Sisson School (grades 4-8, principal Kale Riccomini). It is governed by a five-member elected Board of Trustees (President Jessma Evans, Vice President Nancy Swift, Clerk Kerry O'Brien, Trustees Carson Harris and Jim Hardy) and administered by Superintendent Len Foreman. The district reports a 21:1 student-to-teacher ratio and operates an MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support) framework spanning academic, behavioral, and social-emotional domains. Services extend beyond classroom instruction to include food services, bus transportation, extracurricular programming, ALICE safety training, and governance participation.

The district's technology infrastructure is entirely built on third-party K-12 platforms rather than proprietary systems: Aeries Student Information System for student data and grade management; ParentSquare for district-wide family communication (with Google and Microsoft 365 SSO); LINQ Connect for cafeteria menu publishing; Keenan SafeSchools / Vector Solutions for mandatory staff training including ALICE active-shooter preparedness; Simbli / eBoardSolutions for board meeting agendas and public governance documentation; Anonymous Alerts for tip-line reporting; and Renaissance Accelerated Reader for literacy. The firmographic profile lists 15 employees and notes no own-developed software products or APIs.

MSUSD's revenue model is characteristic of a California public school district: it generates no tuition revenue and operates as a non-commercial government entity. Primary funding flows through California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), with supplemental allocations based on average daily attendance, enrollment, and unduplicated pupil counts (English learners, low-income, foster youth), augmented by the Education Protection Account for teacher retention and instructional materials, plus federal Title I, Title IX, and other categorical grants. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed on the district website. The district has no parent company, investors, equity ownership, or M&A history, and is not a candidate for traditional PE/VC/M&A activity.
