Twin Rivers Charter School
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
Who runs Twin Rivers Charter School
Twin Rivers Charter School is one TK-8 school of about 517 students in Yuba City. It is a public school paid by California's per-student funding formula (LCFF), but it is run by its own five-member board of directors, not by an elected school board. Yuba City Unified authorizes the charter and must renew it for the school to keep operating.
Board is not elected
The five directors are chosen under the school's bylaws. Families cannot vote them in or out at an election.
One director/principal
Chrissy Jolly holds a three-year contract from July 2026 as School Director/Site Principal, with a new assistant principal.
State formula money
About $6.3 million of $9.0 million in 2026-27 revenue comes from the LCFF formula, based on attendance.
Full and in demand
167 families applied for 24 openings in the 2026-27 lottery; most grades have waiting lists.
The school posts detailed agendas and voted minutes for every meeting, and its reserves are growing, so the renewal is not a sign of trouble by itself.
Where the district stands
Up from $8,225,199 in the June budget
Up from $3,805,695 at the start of the year
