Wishing You All a Wonderful Thanksgiving Break! One of the most impactful sessions I attended at the recent AI Summit was not about productivity or grading—it was about human connection. As we navigate a changing educational landscape, the mental health of our students, families, and staff remains our absolute priority. I am pleased to share information regarding our alignment with the Cook Center for Human Connection , an organization dedicated to the goal of ending suicide and providing comprehensive support systems for schools. Here are a couple of the resources and innovations I think are worth exploring.   Support for Parents: We know that supporting a child often means supporting their guardians. Through ParentGuidance.org , families can access coaching, counseling, and resources developed by professionals (including Dr. Skinner) to help them navigate complex parenting challenges . "My Life is Worth Living": This resource offers animated stories designed to connect wi...

NO MATTER WHO YOU ROOT FOR - ENJOY THE GAMES! ~~~~~~ I’m happy to share some great news: we’ve reached an agreement with our labor partners for a 5% salary increase for this school year , retroactive to July 1, 2025 ! This raise is possible because we recently discovered an accounting software error that was counting some expenses twice. Once we corrected it, we realized we had a little more flexibility in our budget. We knew exactly where we wanted those funds to go: to you , the people who make our schools thrive. This agreement is a great example of what can happen when we work together with openness and trust. Our labor partners have been thoughtful and collaborative throughout this process, and I’m grateful for the teamwork that made this possible. I know how hard you all work every day to support students, families, and one another. This increase is one way we can show our appreciation for everything you do. Thank you for continuing to make FBUSD a place where people want to wor...
