Chief Business Official

Perris Elementary School District (District) is seeking a Chief Business Official.

The District is located in western Riverside County and serves approximately 5,560 students across ten schools. The District provides a comprehensive educational journey that begins with specialized early childhood programs and extends through middle school. We offer foundational early learning at Rob Reiner Preschool (a state preschool supporting roughly 300 children ages 2-4) and Young Explorers Academy (transitional kindergarten), with preschool services also integrated into the Palms and Good Hope campuses.

The District's core consists of several K–6 elementary schools, including Clearwater, Enchanted Hills, Perris, and Railway, alongside versatile K–8 options at Innovative Horizon Charter School and through TK–8 Dual Language Immersion programs at Sky View Academy and Good Hope.

The District’s mission is cultivating a supportive community that fosters belonging, inspires leadership, and ensures academic and personal success for every student. We believe that education is a collective journey. We have moved away from the traditional "top-down" model to create an ecosystem where Everyone Belongs, Everyone Leads, and Everyone Succeeds. When you join us, you aren't just filling a vacancy, you are joining a community rooted in trust and joy.

We are a team of lifelong learners who have the courage to embrace innovation and the persistence to navigate challenges through collaboration. Here, your passion is our greatest asset, and your adaptability ensures that our students are prepared for an ever-changing world.

The District has a General Fund budget of $100 million.
