The Fillmore Unified School District governing board voted 3‑0 to appoint Andrea McNeil to the position of executive director of fiscal services, effective Oct. 1, 2025. The appointment was listed on the agenda as classification 19, step 6, 260 days.

The board made the appointment as a single action following approval of a new job description and a revised classified management salary schedule that added the position. The motion to approve the appointment was made by Trustee Balick and seconded by Trustee Palacio; the roll call showed three ayes and two members absent.

Superintendent Christine Sheperly and trustees offered brief remarks of praise for McNeil’s service in the business office. McNeil addressed the board after the vote, saying, "I really appreciate this opportunity. I think that this is, a a wonderful way to transition, and ensure that we have a very stable, very knowledgeable district that is going to continue. And, I I'm really excited to work with the staff in the business office. Thank you." The transcript records broader expressions of thanks from the board and superintendent.

The appointment will take effect Oct. 1, 2025; staff said the change is part of the district’s administrative staffing plan and that detailed assignments and reporting relationships will be handled by the superintendent’s office.

The board did not discuss additional contract terms on the record beyond the classification, step and 260‑day assignment included in the agenda item. The vote followed standard procedure: the board approved a new job description for the executive director role and revised the classified management salary schedule before approving the appointment.
