FSD School Board Meeting - March 10, 2026

The Fullerton School District (FSD) School Board held a meeting on March 10, 2026, focusing on various district updates, recognitions, and key administrative and financial matters. Significant procurement-related discussions included the approval of a replacement member for the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee, adoption of resolutions authorizing district personnel to sign documents, and approval of a resolution initiating layoffs of classified positions due to funding changes. The board also approved a new Memorandum of Understanding with the Fullerton Elementary Teachers Association regarding summer school staffing. Policy updates were adopted concerning school safety plans, access to district records, student records, and new behavioral health support policies. A detailed presentation of the district's second interim financial report was given, highlighting a projected deficit spending trend over the next three years, declining enrollment, and the importance of maintaining reserves. The board certified a positive financial status despite these challenges. Additionally, the transportation program was reviewed, including a proposal to increase bus fees for non-eligible students from $400 to $420 annually, which was approved by a narrow margin. Finally, the board formed an ad hoc committee to review and update board bylaws and policies. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but budget allocations and financial planning were central themes throughout the meeting.
