Frank Guzman of Pomona Valley Pride said “trans inclusivity in education is essential” and asked the board to consider students who will observe Trans Visibility Day on March 31. Sam Gutierrez, a youth organizer with the youth‑led group Here and Queer, said the organization advocates “gender justice” and pledged continued support for queer and trans students in the district.

A teacher who spoke on behalf of a colleague, Scott Carter, criticized district actions he characterized as conflating politics with human rights and said some policies passed recently “infringe upon these fundamental human rights,” adding that students have reported feeling unsafe. Carter said he had seen changes such as removal of 4x6 safe‑space cards from classrooms and urged the district to uphold its mission to provide a safe learning environment.

Public commentator Steve Figueroa described ongoing special‑education grievances and broader concerns about student safety and said parents had filed complaints that he said remain unanswered.

Board members acknowledged the comments and trustees directed staff to follow up where specific site‑level complaints were named. No policy motion or board vote on LGBT‑related policies occurred at the meeting; President Shaw said she will place a resolution supporting AB 89 (relating to fairness and safety in girls sports) on a future agenda and said the district would follow up with parents who raised site complaints.","At public comment speakers — including advocacy groups, a student‑led organization and teachers — urged the board to ensure inclusive policies and protections for transgender and LGBTQ students and raised concerns about removed 'safe space' signage, alleged ICE presence and the district's response to harassment.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6115232,"Parents, coaches and boosters urge district to reverse new retiree sit‑out policy; booster alleges cover‑up at Ayala",1837,6866000,8703000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2739534-cd7450d9bf3271c689f70273e54a3e7d&start=6866&end=8703","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2739534-cd7450d9bf3271c689f70273e54a3e7d/thumbnail_6866000.jpg","/articles/6115232/California/Parents-coaches-and-boosters-urge-district-to-reverse-new-retiree-sitout-policy-booster-alleges-coverup-at-Ayala","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6115232-321e617f435e8fdbeca16d979614d1db/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176070&Signature=KdVkBLFAHG0iNtbgk76S7CgHypsv6wO4PhEfNRpSoaEeXF9tHJZTwVKo1M9aOb0xdWhnxqJ~fcngdB4fUFg4rtDBXj~EbWzZMGLV0OhDXv5dzFJURpDLeq6D~MQdXKQ6IKKaZs1lOE3U8vtNIqpDbDrmdaeJUQc-heLP~0mZquJQQipPfiwaI490mDeUMA5XlyAdX4-el6xeQm5-jJGPd75UWx6Jz4-PTgnocAL3WXwwwf8C4GDKgumQfik-OBR5TAtJA3W2q9FBbj4R8QGXgM7OqcVyAjbSBLDjjdp51ZDMv-lipKC4-ap6x7TswQdcDlmHlc9EjifOPxNeI7UMgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several parents and community members told the board on March 20 that a district‑side change to the return‑to‑service timeline for retired employees is harming local athletic programs and must be reconsidered.

Theresa Yao, speaking for the Ayala High School girls varsity golf team, said her coach — identified as Coach Capps — was told he could not return after retirement despite previously following a 180‑day sit‑out practice. Yao said the coach had been told the district would enforce an 18‑month sit‑out period that had not been communicated earlier; she said the change cost the boys’ golf program its longtime coach and forced a different coach to fill in for the season. She asked the district to “reconsider and further investigate this policy,” saying the change could drive retirees to other districts.

Parent Shubhie Devine echoed the concern, saying community understanding was that a 180‑day sit‑out applied and that lengthening the period to 18 months would cause the district to lose experienced coaches. Student speaker Carmela Ang described Coach Capps’ regular presence and support for the girls’ program.

Teacher‑union representative Steven Frazier (ACT president) said the district’s retirees often provide mentorship and urged protecting that role. District staff referenced Human Resources in public comments; commenters said Dr. Akuna in HR had relayed the new enforcement but that it was not documented in written policy.

Separately, an Ayala parent and former booster member, Elsa Cabral, testified that the Ayala cross‑country boosters used a booster debit card to spend $9,000 on a trip to Alabama without district approval and that administration met with boosters to address the matter. Cabral alleged a cover‑up and said she resigned from the boosters; she also alleged misuse of timing equipment and CIF‑rule violations. District officials said they would follow up with site leadership and the parent requests.

Board members asked staff to follow up with site administrators on the coaching and booster complaints; Superintendent Enfield said staff would take the concerns to principals and continue communication with the families. No formal policy vote or change occurred at the meeting.","Public commenters told the board a newly enforced requirement that retirees wait 18 months before returning to volunteer or coach threatens local programs; separate testimony alleged misuse of booster funds at Ayala High School and retaliation against a parent who spoke up.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6115233,"Chino Valley Unified reports gains in family engagement and school‑climate indicators",442,6186000,6628000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2739534-cd7450d9bf3271c689f70273e54a3e7d&start=6186&end=6628","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2739534-cd7450d9bf3271c689f70273e54a3e7d/thumbnail_6186000.jpg","/articles/6115233/California/Chino-Valley-Unified-reports-gains-in-family-engagement-and-schoolclimate-indicators","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6115233-0251bdb640499b3e569b76b566497f30/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176070&Signature=oY-7my~157ZAUM~9gagcFXbv3qRmPLklxuEd82m9ErsvuP~LUOES4aJbDOwJDVOxAxca1QWSYe~j5wvIpaXUkLEe9v7DEZVhdo4qWsrdNr67JR-WRl4raGimsBEDHni-JeVY5R86PqLfYs0VnwonN6m6jul8ZJ0SJr2c7UvhLUJwPQnw6jE4DsUhKOdMSovy~s7FiyiADtYdFvr~JrNJ3qTPvL~r4p~vxz5jdMg0gHGbRvx0iaHCCj1lujqGfQ7QFBfgz2xLj0ziMTTNjeF9MN92a7pJvAjl1~91fOgwahsIoKgAQSxyVnBqQwZRBNtSQMpbWYV2skt2NMciY4YrIQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District staff briefed the board on March 20 about progress under the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), focusing on parent and family engagement and student perceptions of school climate.

At the start of the presentation, LCAP lead and presenters said the district aligns its four local LCAP goals with the state’s eight required priorities and uses both statewide and local metrics. Doctor Finkbeiner, director of access and equity, reviewed the district’s self‑assessment using the state’s reflection tool and reported that most promising practices for parent engagement are at “full implementation and sustainability” on the district’s internal scale.

Doctor Gomez, director of health services, summarized K‑12 Insight survey results used to gauge student perceptions of safety and connectedness. District staff reported that 88% of survey participants “agreed or strongly agreed” that schools in the district create a welcoming environment for families and that the district met local indicators for parent and family engagement and for school climate for the 2024–25 school year. The K‑12 Insight survey is administered annually to students in grades 6–12, staff said.

Board members thanked staff for the update and expressed a desire to see continued upward trends and increased participation in the survey. No formal action was required on the report; it was presented as information to the board.","District staff told the board the Local Control and Accountability Plan update shows progress on state priorities for parent engagement and school climate, citing full implementation ratings for several promising practices and strong results on the K‑12 Insight student survey.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6115235,"Chino Valley Unified board issues 30‑day dismissal notice, approves special‑education settlement",6269,31000,6300000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2739534-cd7450d9bf3271c689f70273e54a3e7d&start=31&end=6300","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2739534-cd7450d9bf3271c689f70273e54a3e7d/thumbnail_31000.jpg","/articles/6115235/California/Chino-Valley-Unified-board-issues-30day-dismissal-notice-approves-specialeducation-settlement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6115235-435b174d6ac52f4adb878e0504c58e4b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176070&Signature=M496XOmULbyFvu1RPIILXZzwEwoUv9CrqsT02GONAjLve~ftDt1j0y1lYwmTLeWFK~aVqFKYZ7ZSZTRYH6KCPScnrcOj1lbjlLlBaGUVkJizdW1V75aeffh9e1bG2UjYAQfs8tC1i1JqMgcidYw00bUZ7JrjFo4uC1fXrD74fqgwjXlJ2i84a0hh5BTBU7rMvaUDUoi3GR6E3c1ytZp541L-O17iRakQRL7R9NGQhRtCBDI1FEmC38~CYO8TezV07KbN9E6lLHsyzaYvKSOd6t4fLceYo0CvHddEVCOaUigOjIb7kRSxD3uskOkmQC2C92Rc3ddArMkKexzdZRHGWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Education on March 20 voted in closed session to issue a 30‑day notice of dismissal to one employee and approved a settlement resolving a special‑education due‑process case before the Office of Administrative Hearings.

The board, with President Shaw and members Cervantes and Monroe voting yes and Trustee Cruz absent, approved issuing a 30‑day notice of dismissal to employee 27318. The board recorded no further public action on the dismissal beyond the required disclosure.

The board also approved a settlement in OAH case number 2024110206. According to the board’s public disclosure, the district — “without admission of fault” — agreed to fund and provide specified educational services and reasonable attorney’s fees collectively not to exceed $56,000 in exchange for a release of claims against the district. The roll call vote on the settlement was Cervantes, Monroe and Shaw voting yes; Cruz absent.

Board President Shaw opened the meeting by reporting the closed session covered several items, including anticipated and existing litigation, student discipline and labor negotiations. The board disclosed only the dismissal notice and the special‑education settlement, saying no other required disclosures were necessary.

No additional details about the dismissed employee, the specific educational services in the settlement, or the parties to the OAH case were provided during the public meeting disclosure.

The district listed the actions and the OAH case number during the reconvened open session; Superintendent Enfield and district counsel did not provide further comment during the public portion of the meeting.","At a March 20 meeting the Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Education voted to issue a 30‑day notice of dismissal to one employee and to approve a settlement in Office of Administrative Hearings case 2024110206 obligating the district to provide services and pay attorney fees up to $56,000.","actionData","errors"]
