By unanimous vote the board appointed General Lamson (identified in the meeting as the incoming principal of alternative education programs) effective July 14, 2025. The superintendent provided background on Lamson's career in after-school and kindergarten instruction and noted Lamson holds a bachelor of arts from Westmont College and a master's in education from San Diego Christian University; Lamson is also enrolled in administrative credential coursework.

The superintendent noted Settle is a doctoral candidate in organizational leadership at the University of the Pacific and holds a master's in curriculum and instruction for special education.

The board welcomed Ayanna Polk as the district's newest student board member (a 12th-grade student at Fairfield High School) and discussed bylaw and Education Code references that govern student board member assignments to committees. The superintendent and board explained Polk may review subcommittees this month and indicate committee preferences in July.

The board also introduced and administered the oath of office to Vania Tewari, the student board member elect for 2025–26. The superintendent administered the oath; the board recorded the installation and congratulated Tewari.

The LCAP establishes district priorities for the next three years and guides spending tied to the Local Control Funding Formula. Trustees described the LCAP as comprehensive and praised staff for candidly identifying focus areas.

\"The scope and the depth of the work that has been performed in this LCAP is breathtaking,\" Trustee Tilley said during the meeting, urging support for the plan. Trustees said the plan was developed with input from parents, students and community members and emphasized student achievement as a top focus.

The federal addendum to the LCAP, also approved by motion, supplements the LCAP to capture federal program requirements. Assistant Superintendent Dr. McCabe presented the local indicator report required by state law and noted the report was submitted in the same meeting to meet compliance requirements.

Trustees adopted the documents by motion; the board's recorded votes were \"Aye\" with no opposition reported for the items. Board members said the LCAP will guide district priorities but that the plan is designed to allow flexibility if circumstances change.

The board will return in future meetings with monitoring reports and implementation updates tied to the LCAP goals and local indicator metrics.","Trustees approved the district's 2025–28 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and a related federal addendum, and received the state-required local indicator report presented for compliance purposes.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":42,"_43":88,"_45":88,"_46":89,"_48":90,"_50":91,"_52":92,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6184048,"Fairfield-Suisun board adopts 2025–26 budget, approves multiple program plans and grant applications",2944000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093148-ad6674829e130aab58569817b5e6cbfb&start=2944&end=2944","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093148-ad6674829e130aab58569817b5e6cbfb/thumbnail_2944000.jpg","/articles/6184048/California/Fairfield-Suisun-board-adopts-202526-budget-approves-multiple-program-plans-and-grant-applications","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184048-14437d0ecf72298522a1922624e0742a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142784&Signature=g5UI22oLYaR2u-HLQRzyaGlA1HnTOiObqyYnjWToEHhO0EPEglHt4kDAUzaZ3O0M8dorCtw4kgNGDGCfJJIQdpicYBr9KpucOnoz8yy-OzKT3V8WSKUO1YUrUImyo~4jdsKCwWTnSAGX1GCswej7g6Jn6n~weLKyCK~lqAt0COJrjjOe8-K3JQLuzJALmc5b7T3bjmV5HXvFJuz6qTCx~YHVe2wutkfeE7W1HSmFiMMgW~rUZx4di467kV5uQtQLPGlYKZCsFc1bF5OSgveR3T2VhS8V3AIqL6gWO7EJDw~qkrYDGJ17IyHppyoBukVcBNVeu3AwAiwBDIIqDQChUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District governing board adopted its 2025–26 annual budget and approved multiple program plans and grant applications during its June 26 meeting.

Adopting the annual budget sets the district's spending framework for the coming fiscal year and allows staff to proceed with program implementation and grant spending prior to July 1.

Trustees voted to adopt the 2025–26 annual budget during the business services action items. Trustee Flynn moved approval; the motion carried after a roll-call vote recorded by the board. Trustee Tilley thanked staff and the superintendent for preparing the budget \"despite very uncertain waters,\" and board members expressed appreciation for the work required to finalize plans before the June 30 deadline.

In the same block of consent and action items the board approved several program-specific plans and grant applications: the Proposition 28 arts and music in schools annual report, revisions to the educator effectiveness grant expenditure plan, the 2025 expanded learning opportunities grant plan, the agricultural career technical education (CTE) incentive grant application for 2025–26, the district's digital technology plan, and single-site plans for Title I schools receiving a community schools grant. Each of those items was brought forward without extended presentation and approved by motion.

Board members highlighted visible student outcomes tied to arts funding, noting multiple elementary schools had arts programming and citing a school winter concert with about 100 students performing in a newly formed band. The superintendent said communication materials (a Friday letter and video) would be shared showing internship programs and student participation in district departments.

District staff will now finalize grant applications, implement approved plans, and manage allocation of funds as outlined in each plan. Trustees did not record dollar amounts for every plan during the public meeting; specific budget line items and grant award amounts were not stated on the record.

Board members involved in the votes included Trustee Flynn, Dr. Tilley and Dr. Hundley; student board member Ms. Polk participated in the roll-call votes where recorded.","The governing board adopted the district's 2025–26 annual budget and approved several program plans and grant applications, including the digital technology plan, expanded learning opportunities plan, and an agricultural CTE grant application.",{"_33":96,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":97,"_41":42,"_43":98,"_45":98,"_46":99,"_48":100,"_50":101,"_52":102,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":103,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":104,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6184053,"Fairfield-Suisun board approves three-year contract for superintendent, ratifies labor agreements",3230000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093148-ad6674829e130aab58569817b5e6cbfb&start=3230&end=3230","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093148-ad6674829e130aab58569817b5e6cbfb/thumbnail_3230000.jpg","/articles/6184053/California/Fairfield-Suisun-board-approves-three-year-contract-for-superintendent-ratifies-labor-agreements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184053-c031bbd7e50fcbaefc9f06eeaf3d7bfa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142784&Signature=l-fUOOKpD3jeH6y5vKU4C8MQ6hCyV3js5cAl-h-APIdmaRbEcq~oJFWKmR4Z52TrPfAOi~r2UG2fGQAkSDHVZGp~4u7gPV34TudRsnZYazrwiCa81kpA9ZQpEJBIHIDtxrFs~j1XLkSnaFXldmouKHkwpdNpiUqUfdDi~ZRzHYASurw3dPehZwmEOQVoMcx2-1kDn-d38gnnsv9Tf~rh5OhzwvLR5eroYvFMDyEnpn1TqZ530weLYBP4OApo1kVPjNoz0NDkDArNf0y~S9ERtWArqyt6CJH-G6bNIl0G9rQnyjPPjlNLBb2nfw1rvUwEdyqgcSPuEAPpnSKyEw2JXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District governing board on June 26 approved a three-year amended employment agreement for Superintendent Sachs, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, and separately ratified negotiated agreements with district employee organizations.

The actions matter because they fix leadership continuity for the district and implement contract changes for multiple employee groups that the board and union leaders described as aimed at attracting and retaining staff amid inflationary pressures.

Board members voted to approve the superintendent's amended contract during the board's human resources action items. Trustee Flynn urged approval, saying, \"Throughout her tenure, Superintendent Sachs has demonstrated exceptional leadership,\" and urged the board to ratify the contract. The motion carried following a roll call vote recorded as all in favor.

At the same meeting the board approved the final tentative agreement between the Fairfield-Suisun Unified Teachers Association (FSUTA/FSUDA) and the district covering July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028. Pam Williamson, speaking for teachers during public comment, described bargaining as collaborative: \"For me, the most important piece of how our bargaining cycle went this year was because of the conversations we had at the table,\" Williamson said. Board members noted the agreement was ratified by more than 85% of the teachers.

The board also approved revised salary schedules and tentative agreements affecting classified and support units represented by CSEA, the ancillary professions association (APA), and management/confidential groups. Trustee Tilley and others praised the collaborative negotiations and the district's ability to offer compensation increases despite \"very uncertain waters,\" according to Tilley.

The board approved a motion to adopt the various negotiated agreements and salary schedules; votes on those items were recorded as carried with the board's stated support. Several trustees used the meeting to emphasize a goal of retaining employees and strengthening student outcomes.

The board simultaneously authorized administrative housekeeping related to the agreements, including effective dates and incorporation of revised schedules into district payroll processes. There were no public speakers opposing the agreements during the meeting.

Board members who spoke about the contracts included Trustee Flynn (member, Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District Governing Board), Trustee Tilley (member), and Trustee Hundley (member). Pam Williamson (representative, teacher bargaining unit) addressed the board during public comment; Superintendent Sachs was present for the items and received the board's approval of her contract.

Looking ahead, board members said they expect continued bargaining and collaborative discussions when contract negotiations resume in the fall.","The Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District governing board approved a three-year employment agreement for Superintendent Sachs and ratified multiple labor agreements, including a teacher contract the district said won more than 85% approval by members.","actionData","errors"]
