Bolton said she was “honored I was to work with you all for almost 20 years as president” and thanked the board and district leaders for their collaboration. She added that Sylvia Ortiz, “who is from Adams,” is the new LTA president and that Ortiz “has a really great attitude” and looks forward to working with district leaders.
Trustees and Superintendent Castro thanked Bolton for her years of service and for working with administration on matters that the trustee said helped avert escalation of personnel issues. Trustee Burris thanked her “for all that you've done for your union and your teachers,” and Trustee Rudolph said Bolton had been a regular presence and would be missed.
The board president read Board Bylaw 9323 aloud to clarify public-comment timing before Bolton spoke; the bylaw sets a three-minute limit per speaker and a 20-minute total limit for public input on each item. No board action was taken on matters raised during Bolton’s remarks.

Superintendent Castro said summer school went well and that a formal report with highlights would be provided at the coming board meeting. When pressed for a rough figure, Castro said “I think that's actually very close. It was about 700.”
During board-member comments later in the meeting, another trustee described the number as “approximately I'm gonna say almost 600 students,” creating two different estimates in the record.
Trustees also noted that summer programs included multiple strands — for example, the district’s extended school-year/credit recovery programs and a multilingual academy — and that final attendance figures across those programs will be included in the superintendent’s report.
No vote or formal action was taken on summer school at this meeting; trustees said they expect a more complete update at the next regular meeting.","Board members discussed summer-school participation numbers; Superintendent Castro said the district reported about 700 students attended summer programs and a more detailed report will be presented at the next board meeting.

The question came during consideration of superintendent action items; Phillips said she was concerned that the district had only one meeting in January and asked whether the board had previously gone that long without meeting.
Superintendent Castro and other trustees replied that the calendar was shaped by holidays and staff vacations, which make it difficult for staff to prepare agendas during certain holiday periods. No motion was made to change the calendar during the meeting.
Several trustees said other districts hold only one meeting per month and that the board would vote for the current calendar to allow staff time to prepare materials. Trustee Phillips said she disagreed with the approach but voted with the board to move forward.
The board did not adopt any change to the regular-meeting schedule at this session and left the calendar as presented; the superintendent indicated staff would continue to manage agenda timing around holiday staffing constraints.
","Trustee Anne Phillips asked the Lawndale Elementary School District board to reconsider long gaps in the regular-meeting calendar; board members discussed staffing and holidays as reasons for fewer meetings and did not take formal action.","actionData","errors"]
