Marysville Joint Unified trustees accept Superintendent Dr. Fallis’s resignation; Roxanne Brown to remain interim

Trustee Gary Criddle reported that the Marysville Joint Unified trustees unanimously accepted the resignation of Superintendent Doctor Fallis, effective June 30, 2025, and that Interim Superintendent Roxanne Brown will continue to lead the district until the trustees hire a replacement.

"The board took action by unanimous vote of all trustees present to accept and approve the resignation of Superintendent Doctor Fallis, effective June 30th, 2025," Criddle said during a post–closed-session report to the board. He also reported that "Interim Superintendent Roxanne Brown will continue to lead the district until such time that a new superintendent is employed by the Trustee Board of Trustee." The transcript states that Doctor Trani will remain on a leave of absence and will not return to active status.

The action was reported as a formal vote taken in closed session; the transcript does not record who moved or seconded the motion or the date the meeting took place. The board characterized the vote as unanimous among trustees present. The transcript names trustees Gary Criddle, Seth Steadma, and Doctor Yang in the roll-call portion and notes the unanimous outcome but does not list additional trustees or provide a formal roll-call vote record beyond that statement.

No further details about the reasons for Doctor Fallis’s resignation, the timeline for a superintendent search, or any interim staffing changes beyond Roxanne Brown’s continuation were provided in the transcript excerpt. The meeting concluded with an adjournment.

The board’s next procedural step, as reported in the excerpt, is to continue with Roxanne Brown in the interim leadership role until the trustees employ a new superintendent.
