The Pomona Unified School District Board of Education on Sept. 10 reported several settlements and personnel actions that had been discussed in closed session, legal counsel told the board when open session resumed.

Mr. Robert Moore, the district's legal counsel, told the board, "we have 3 items to report out at this time," and read the settlement and personnel outcomes the board had approved in closed session.

Mr. Moore reported three settlement approvals earlier in the evening. For a case identified by the district as ending in "593," he reported a settlement in the total amount of $49,340 and said the board voted "3 in favor including Dr. Nashua, Dr. Perlman and Mr. Jimenez; 1 abstention; Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Gonzalez not in attendance." He also reported a separate settlement in a case ending in "855" for $7,000,000 with a reported vote of "four‑zero in favor with Mrs. Gonzalez not in attendance." Finally, he reported a settlement in a case ending in "2522" for a combined amount of $18,000,000 divided among three plaintiffs, again reporting a "four‑zero in favor with Mrs. Gonzalez not in attendance."

When the board reconvened after a later closed session, Moore reported additional actions. He said the board, by 4‑0 votes with Mrs. Gonzalez not in attendance, approved a resolution to dismiss in one employee case (case ending in "1") and accepted a resignation in another (case ending in "2"). He also reported the board had approved settlements in matters identified as case numbers ending in "5.12" and "5.13" in the total amount of $75,000, with a 4‑0 vote and Mrs. Gonzalez not in attendance. "No further reportable actions were taken," Moore said when he finished.

The board did not provide full case names or unredacted case numbers during the public report, and the district identified cases only by their redacted endings when reporting out of closed session. Board members present for the roll calls and votes referenced in the reports included Board President Tai, Dr. Nashua, Dr. Perlman and Mr. Jimenez; Mrs. Gonzalez was repeatedly noted as not in attendance for some of the votes as reported by counsel.

The board's public reports cited closed‑session authority under California Government Code section 54956.9(d) for pending litigation and under section 54957(b)(1) for employee discipline and dismissal matters. The district did not release settlement agreements or additional documents as part of the open‑session report.

Board counsel's statements constituted the district's sole public disclosure of the closed session outcomes; no further discussion or explanation of the settlements or personnel decisions took place in open session.

The board adjourned after the second closed session report; Moore said board members would reconvene as needed to complete any remaining closed‑session business and would report out any additional reportable actions at the next appropriate open session.
