Board confirms release of certificated temporary employees and adopts investigation‑participation requirement in closed session
Summary
In closed session the board approved release of specified certificated temporary contract employees effective at the end of the 2024–25 year, denied a claim, and later adopted a resolution requiring board members’ participation in an ongoing investigation or submission of a signed affidavit — a measure that triggered a 3–2 vote.
The Temecula Valley Unified School District board announced multiple actions taken in closed session at its May 13 meeting. The Board Secretary read the completed motions after the closed session.
Trustees announced that, in closed session, the board approved the release of several certificated temporary contract employees effective at the conclusion of the 2024‑25 school year. Emil Barham read the list of employee ID numbers when the board announced the action; the motion to approve the releases was adopted unanimously, 5–0.
Also in closed session the board reported it had moved to deny a claim for damages (claimant initials KR, dated April 14, 2025); the board announced that motion passed unanimously.
The board also read a motion recorded in an earlier closed session (April 7, 2025) that imposed a deadline for board members’ participation in an ongoing investigation. The motion required all board members to complete participation in the investigation no later than April 21 or to submit a signed affidavit to the superintendent and investigator if they chose not to participate. The motion further stated that a board member who failed to comply by the deadline would have their attendance at a planned CSBA Washington, D.C. trip canceled and the district would be instructed to cancel associated travel arrangements. The board read that it would monitor compliance and ensure all members were informed of the requirement. The vote on the motion, as read out at the May 13 meeting, was: Schwartz, yes; Wiersma, no; Komrodsky, no; Barham, yes; Anderson, yes. The readout stated the motion passed by a vote of 3 to 2.
No individual personnel names (beyond employee ID numbers read for the certificated releases) or details of the investigation were released as part of the closed‑session readout.
