District overview
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
Winship-Robbins Elementary School District runs one school, Robbins Elementary (TK-8), in the farm town of Robbins in southern Sutter County, California. It has about 110 students. Most money comes from California's Local Control Funding Formula, which pays per student based on attendance, with extra for English learners and low-income students. Local property taxes cover part of that formula amount. The district also oversees a charter school, Feather River Charter School, which runs a learning center at the old Winship school.
Projected for 2026-27: $1.63 million from the state formula, $1.25 million local, $461,000 other state and $28,000 federal.
Planned general fund spending for 2026-27, about $138,000 more than revenue.
The 2025-26 budget projected a $3.52 million ending balance, far above the 5% ($162,355) state minimum.
Elected at large for four-year terms in even years. One seat is vacant after an October 2026 resignation.
Large savings in a tiny district are normal protection against swings in enrollment; the district says it is holding money for maintenance and in case charter oversight revenue ends.
Supplemental and concentration grants; the district plans to spend $634,665 on these students.
$3,513,300 divided by about 110 students. Includes preschool, after-school and charter oversight costs.
Out of 12 meetings with posted agendas.
The charter asked for a five-year renewal (July 2027 to June 2032). The district is its authorizer and updated its charter oversight policy and authorizer handbook in 2026.

Three four-year seats are up in the November 3, 2026 consolidated election: those held by Patricia Van Ruiten, Janet Alonso and Jamellh Mohsen, whose terms end November 30, 2026. A Sutter County candidate list dated August 12, 2026 (seen only in search results; sutter.gov blocks our collector) shows three candidates for three seats: Patricia N. Van Ruiten, Jamellh Mohsen and Aida Castillo. If the race stays uncontested, California law lets the county appoint them instead of listing the race on the ballot.
