The Fillmore Unified School District presented a first reading of a revised governance handbook and the district’s 2025–26 governance calendar. Superintendent Christine Shefferly said the handbook revisions were informed by a self-evaluation and sessions facilitated by the California School Boards Association (CSBA).
Shefferly said the revised handbook incorporates agreed-upon norms for board conduct, including focusing on students’ best interests, respect, confidentiality and effective deliberations; she said the handbook would return for board approval on August 5. Trustees praised the revisions and noted the online posting of the governance calendar for public access.
Superintendent Shefferly said the governance calendar is a living document and staff will update the board twice a year; she also described a schedule of school-site presentations for the fall to showcase different campuses. Trustees asked about timing and confirmed meeting times would remain in daylight hours when appropriate.
