At its June 18 meeting the Fountain Valley School District board approved the 2026–27 LCAP, the district budget and several collective‑bargaining disclosures and agreements (including FVEA and CSEA items) and adopted salary adjustments; all recorded votes were unanimous (5–0).
The Fountain Valley School District board on June 18 moved through a slate of legislative items and approved the district’s Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), the 2026–27 budget and multiple collective‑bargaining documents and related personnel compensation items.
Legislative Item 1 was approval of the Mountain Valley School District 2026–27 LCAP. Trustees praised the document’s community input and alignment with strategic priorities; the motion passed with a recorded vote of 5–0. Trustee Missus Crandall noted the plan incorporated about 800 community survey responses and identified a 6.242% figure referenced in the discussion as necessary to increase or improve student services this year.
The board next approved the district’s 2026–27 budget (Item 2), followed by public disclosure and acceptance steps related to collective bargaining: Item 3 (public disclosure of the collective bargaining agreement with the Fountain Valley Education Association for 2025–26), Item 4 (the agreement with FVEA), Item 5 (public disclosure with California School Employees Association Chapter 358 for 2025–26), and Item 6 (agreement with Classified School Employee Association Chapter 358). Trustees publicly thanked negotiating teams and district staff for their work bringing these agreements to conclusion.
The board also approved Item 7, a management and confidential employee salary increase for 2025–26, and Item 8, a memorandum of understanding setting release dates for assessments and related release days. All motions on the evening’s legislative agenda and the consent calendar (23 items) passed by unanimous votes recorded as 5–0.
