Board approves instructional continuity plan, instructional materials and independent‑study policy revisions
Loading...
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved the district's instructional continuity plan required by new state guidance, adopted instructional materials for fall 2025 and revised board policy on independent study; public hearing for materials closed with no comments.
The Fairfield‑Suisun Unified School District board approved a state‑required instructional continuity plan and several instructional policy items at its May 15 meeting, voting unanimously after public hearing periods closed with no public speakers.
The actions matter because the instructional continuity plan provides the district’s required steps for maintaining instruction during short‑ or long‑term school closures, and the policy and textbook approvals shape curriculum and independent‑study operations for the coming year.
Dr. Sheila McCabe explained the plan arose from state legislative changes and subsequent California Department of Education guidance; the template will be embedded into each school safety plan and returned to the board with site plans in the fall. The board then held a public hearing on proposed fall 2025 instructional materials and, after no comments, approved adoption. Trustees also approved revised board policy 6158 on independent study following its public hearing.
Board members asked a few clarifying questions about extreme scenarios and implementation; none of the items drew public opposition. All votes on these items were recorded as unanimous on the record.
