Effective Feb. 12, 2025, Erik Burmeister has resigned as superintendent for Fremont Unified School District (FUSD). Burmeister had only been in the position for a matter of months, beginning July 2024, per the school district’s website, after receiving a unanimous vote from the Board. He contributed to the Measure M Facilities Improvement Bond campaign in Nov. 2024.
Official FUSD documents do not give a reason for the resignation, leading to speculation among Fremont parents on social media. A representative from the school district responded to a request for comment, and said that personnel matters remain confidential, and the board is focusing on making a smooth transition and continuing to support students and the community.
Previous superintendent CJ Cammack served from Aug. 2020 until May 2024 before departing to become superintendent of the San Ramon Valley Unified School District.
The board is searching for a new permanent superintendent and will create a landing page to post updates.
