Scott Beylik, Program Chair, introduced speakers District Superintendent of Schools Christine Schieferle, FHS Principal Keith Derrick and FUSD Facilities and Bond Manager Chris Kline. Their presentation provided an overview of the upcoming construction of the new Fillmore High School athletic complex. Mrs. Schieferle talked about the input from community meetings, P.E. teachers, coaches, students, and visiting other high schools in preparation for what was needed in the new building. Mr. Derrick and Mr.
Kline each gave interesting descriptions from the presentation boards on location of the building, as well as the interior
and parking lot. The passing of Measure G is what has made this possible. It is a big project, and the anticipated completion date is Summer of 2025. Measure V facilities projects will continue with future upgrades to the FHS Library, Cafeteria, College & Career Center and new windows and air conditioning in the Arts Building. Additional projects across the district will include additional shade structures at school sites and air conditioning in the San Cayetano and Piru cafeterias.
