This Governance Handbook provides an effective framework for successful leadership and transparent decision-making for the Petaluma City School District. It outlines five strategic goals for 2025-2027 focusing on student college and career readiness, enhancing student wellness and support, improving academic outcomes for students with disabilities, increasing reclassification rates for multilingual learners, and advancing equity by improving specific outcomes at San Antonio High School. The plan aims to foster student development as resilient, caring, and responsible community members.

The board of education convened a study session to discuss the facilities master plan, which is a comprehensive document outlining the future planning of the district's facilities. The plan, nearly $800 million in draft form, aims to guide the district over the next 10 years. The session also covered the bond implementation plan, focusing on how measures Z and AA, which passed roughly $229 million, will be utilized. Additionally, there was discussion regarding a landscape architecture plan, with a vote scheduled for the evening.

The board meeting included a public report of action taken during the closed session, where the board determined that a student committed expelable acts and voted to approve the suspended expulsion. There were also reports on settlement cases that were passed. The meeting also involved special recognitions for students of the month from various schools, including Kennallorth Junior High School, Henor Junior High School, Pedaluma Junior High School, Kasa Grande High School, and San Antonio High School.
