During a recent board meeting, key actions were taken regarding personnel and legal matters. The meeting commenced with a confirmed quorum at 9:38 PM, leading to discussions on new business, including a claim from Anne Carman. However, no action was taken on this matter following a mediation update regarding discrimination charges filed by Mr. Carman.

The board then moved to finalize the termination of the probationary contract for Yohan Al Madaz, a teacher on special assignment. This decision followed a previous vote in October 2024, where the board proposed termination for good cause. Mr. Al Madaz had been notified and given the opportunity to appeal, but he did not contest the decision. The board unanimously approved the termination, allowing the administration to issue a final notice to Mr. Al Madaz.

Additionally, the board addressed a legal matter concerning cause number 2023-DCV-0629. After discussions in a closed session, the board approved a proposed settlement recommended by their attorney, Leandra Ortiz, and authorized her firm to finalize the case with the insurance carrier's approval. This motion also passed unanimously.

The meeting concluded with all items on the agenda being approved, reflecting the board's commitment to resolving personnel and legal issues efficiently.
