Summary
At a Jan. 29 special meeting, the Clovis Unified Governing Board heard a presentation from consultant Peter Fagen reviewing the Brown Act and board governance issues; the board received the workshop and took no formal action.
The Clovis Unified Governing Board on Jan. 29 received a workshop on the Brown Act and board governance practices led by consultant Peter Fagen of Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost. The session, held at the District Office East conference room, was informational and did not result in any formal board action.
Under the direction of Peter Fagen, the board discussed the Brown Act — California's open‑meeting law — and additional governance topics intended to guide board conduct and compliance. District Superintendent Corrine Folmer, Ed.D., and General Counsel Shawn VanWagenen were present during the discussion. The transcript states explicitly that “no action was taken by the Board.”
The workshop was delivered as part of a special meeting called by Board President Yolanda Moore. Board members present for the workshop included Hugh Awtrey, Deena Combs‑Flores, Clinton Olivier, Tiffany Stoker Madsen and Wilma Tom Hashimoto; Vice‑President Steven G. Fogg arrived after the meeting began and was not present for the initial agenda vote.
Because the session was framed as training and review, the board did not move to adopt or implement governance changes during the meeting. The district will retain the workshop record as part of the publicly available meeting materials.
