After returning from a closed session, the La Jolla ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a series of motions ratifying professional services and other administrative items, and authorized personnel actions.
What the board approved
- Ratification of a professional learning and coaching contract with Great Minds for professional learning and coaching support (item 11.1).
- Approval of a comprehensive school performance and capacity building partnership (CSP number 2025-83) (item 11.2).
- Approval of a warehouse stock bid for school and office supplies (bid number 2025-65) (item 11.3).
- Approval of a property and casualty insurance plan (CSP 2026-11) (item 11.4).
- Approval of the 2025 superintendentvaluation (item 11.5) and amendments to the superintendent's employment contract (item 11.6).
- Approval of a non-business day resolution (2025-09) and approval to re-send the facilities master plan services contract (CSP-2025-276) (items 11.7 and 11.8).
- Authorization to propose the termination of a Chapter 21 term contract employee and to authorize the superintendent to send notice of proposed termination (item 11.9).
How the board decided
- Each item was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote; presenters repeated the standard procedure: "All in favor signify by saying aye," followed by "Motion carries." The transcript shows the motions occurred immediately after the closed session and were approved without recorded roll-call tallies.
Discussion vs. decision
- The meeting minutes record the formal actions and approvals taken after the closed session. The decision to authorize a proposed termination was a board action to begin the statutory notice process; the termination itself is not recorded as final in the minutes and would follow the required Chapter 21 procedures.
Context and next steps
- The items cover procurement and service contracts, insurance coverage, the superintendent's evaluation and contract terms, and a personnel step that initiates a statutory termination notice under Chapter 21. The board did not disclose details of the personnel matter during the open session; the open-session record shows only that the board authorized the superintendent to issue the notice of proposed termination.
- As customary under Chapter 21, a proposed termination notice starts a process with additional statutory steps and timelines; the transcript does not record further details about the employee or the grounds for the proposed action.
Meeting chronology note
- The board recessed into closed session at about 7:53 p.m. and returned to open session at about 11:37 p.m., at which time the listed motions were made and approved.
