Weed Union Elementary School

What Weed Union Elementary School does

Weed Union Elementary School District is a public K-8 school district governed by an elected five-member Board of Trustees under California education code, headquartered at 575 White Avenue, Weed, California (Siskiyou County). The district serves students from Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade, with reported enrollment of 337 students in 2021-22 and 325 students in 2022-23, and provides core academic instruction alongside a portfolio of ancillary programs including the SAFE before/after school care program, athletics (cross country, volleyball, basketball, track), the Literacy Academy summer enrichment program, the Summer School Program with afternoon enrichment, and the Cub Power parent-teacher collaboration initiative featuring Cub Bucks reward system and the Cub Store.

The underlying technology footprint is modest and entirely procured rather than proprietary. Instructional technology centers on state-provided digital resources via the California State Library partnership, including Encyclopaedia Britannica (PreK-12), TeachingBooks (PreK-12), and ProQuest research databases (Grades 3-12), accessible at school, home, libraries, and on mobile devices. Administrative technology is limited to standard SaaS tools including the Aeries parent portal for grade access and Simbli eBoardSolutions for board agendas and policies. Headcount comprises approximately 50+ staff across instructional, aides, support services, food service, transportation, custodial, and administrative functions, though firmographic records list 14 employees. The entity partners with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Shasta for extended learning opportunities, the Siskiyou County Health and Human Services agency for student health and behavioral services, and the FCMAT for fiscal oversight.

Revenue is entirely public-sector-sourced, flowing from California Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) apportionment based on Average Daily Attendance, local property taxes, federal categorical programs including Title I, Impact Aid, and special education funds. The district operates as its own local education agency — not a subsidiary of any higher entity — with Jon Ray serving as Superintendent and Tara Willis as Chief Business Official. Specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; no tuition or fees are charged for standard enrollment, though minor auxiliary fees are associated with the SAFE program. The district is subject to regulatory compliance including Title IX, FCMAT audits, and environmental clearance documentation (lead, asbestos, construction audit).

Emerging players

• Rocketship Public Schools: California-based charter network serving elementary grades with publicly funded per-pupil revenue; relevant as an alternative-public operator competing for the same ADA funding tier in some California regions.

Broad incumbents

• Green Dot Public Schools: California charter management organization operating multiple K-12 campuses under the same ADA/LCFF funding model; comparable as a publicly funded K-12 alternative-public operator within the same regulatory framework.
• KIPP Northern California Public Schools: Large California K-8 charter network offering publicly funded K-8 education to similar student populations; competes for the same state per-pupil funding pools and serves as an alternative-public option for families evaluating Weed Elementary.
