What RJUSD does

Fall River Joint Unified School District is a public K-12 school district governed under California Education Code and led by Superintendent Morgan Nugent and a five-member Board of Trustees. It operates from a primary administrative office at 20375 Tamarack Avenue in Burney, California, and a secondary operational site at 44144 A Street in McArthur. The district's service footprint comprises two elementary schools (Burney Elementary, Fall River Elementary), two junior-senior high schools (Burney Jr. Sr. High, Fall River Jr. Sr. High), two continuation high schools (Mountain View and Soldier Mountain), the Intermountain Academy of Learning independent study program, and community day school placements — covering the full TK-12 spectrum plus alternative education pathways.

The district runs a 1:1 Chromebook program spanning grades TK-12, supported by an in-house IT function (Director of Technology Ken Wike) that maintains the network and device fleet. Operational technology stack also includes the Aeries parent/student portal for student information access, automated phone notification systems for weather and emergency communications, and standard district productivity tooling. Ancillary service infrastructure includes two bus garages (Burney and McArthur) managed by Director of Transportation Lori Barber, food services operating under USDA guidelines with summer meal programming, special education services administered by Cindy Fruguglietti, and health services including a district nurse (Sara Albaugh) and a district psychologist (Brent Beyer).

The district's funding base is exclusively public-sector, derived from California state apportionment per Average Daily Attendance, federal categorical programs (Title I, Title III, Title V, EIA/LEP, EIA/SCE) channeled through the Consolidated Application system, and USDA food services reimbursement. No tuition is charged for K-12 instruction; ancillary meal and transportation services have modest fee structures. Community integration is structurally significant, including a formal MOU with the Pit River Tribe, Title VI Indian Parent Committee engagement, and referral relationships with Pit River Health Services, California Tribal TANF, and Shasta County Public Health. The customer base is the entire K-12 mandatory attendance population within the district's territorial boundaries in northeastern California.
