One year ago, a small group of parents came together out of concern after a shift in leadership and control of our LBUSD school board. What began as a response to that moment has grown into something enduring.

In just twelve months, FUEL has become a trusted, parent-led organization of over 500 supporters made up of parents, concerned community members, grandparents, former school board members and LBUSD teacher and staff. 

A detailed recap of the January 22 LBUSD Board Meeting, including governance concerns, proposed changes to Board Bylaw 9322, treatment of professional staff, public comment, and key moments that highlight why transparency and shared leadership matter for our schools.

This past Thursday’s Board meeting reflected both the progress our district can make and the level of engagement our community continues to bring to our schools. The agenda covered curriculum, facilities, innovation, and long-term planning, and it was clear throughout the evening how much work students, families, educators, and community members have invested to move these efforts forward.

In Brief:

• The Board voted 5-0 to approve Option 1 under item 3B. Consideration and Approval of the District’s Corrective Action to Resolve the Health Care Insurance Overpayment, with the district absorbing the health care insurance overpayment.

• The board received an updated presentation and discussion on the Facilities Master Plan and long-term funding options tied to a needed future bond measure.

FUEL Meeting Recap - November 13 LBUSD Board Meeting

Thank you to everyone who showed up, watched online, sent comments, or stayed with us throughout the night. It was a long meeting with moments of real substance, a few bright spots, and several areas that deserve continued attention. Both Dr. Glass and Trustee Hills were unable to attend. We wish them and their families well.
