First off, yes, I do remember the Ginyu-Bulma filler. Second, a filler can be good depending on how well it is handled. Does anyone remember The Tales of Ba Sing Se from Avatar: The Last Airbender? Even it held no major significance to the overall conflict, it gave a lot of insight into the characters and the world.

In the case of RWBY, there doesn't even need to be a full episode dedicated to it. There was a huge time-skip after the fall of Beacon. They could have made a passing news interview with the parents of the deceased champion. The parent's fears of losing a child in the Grimm conflict is a universal one in the world of RWBY.

In regards to the 'secret' thing. Ozpin/Oscar could have at least sent a generic apology for allowing the death to occur, adding to the long list of alleged mistakes.
