Fairfield-Suisun board adopts 2025–26 budget, approves multiple program plans and grant applications
Summary
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.
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.
