Fillmore Unified School District

The Fillmore Unified School District received a petition for the conversion of Piru Elementary School to a charter school to be known as the Piru Charter School. The District Governing Board held a public hearing on the provisions of the charter on Wednesday, October 21, at which time the Board considered the level of support for the petition by teachers employed by the District, other District employees, and parents. Over 200 attended that meeting.

Based on the District’s review and analysis of the charter petition and the information gathered at the public hearing, the District Board will either grant or deny the charter. That meeting will occur at Piru Elementary School in their auditorium on Monday, November 9, at 6:00 p.m. Translators will be present at the meeting. Transportation to and from Rancho Sespe will be done by car pooling. Also, child care for elementary age students will be provided.

A copy of the petition can be viewed at the Superintendent’s Office, 627 Sespe Avenue, Fillmore, CA.
