Buena Park board says it denied claim 02-2025, will refer to claim administrator
Summary
After a closed-session review, the Buena Park School District governing board voted 5-0 to deny an administrative claim and to refer the matter to the district's claim administrator; the board provided its report out at the reconvened public meeting.
The Buena Park School District governing board reported it denied administrative claim number 02-2025 and referred the matter to the district's claim administrator, following a closed-session review on Aug. 4.
President Chung reported to the public that the board "voted to deny claim number 02Dash2025 and to refer the matter to the district's claim administrator." The motion, according to the report out, was made by Trustee Jensen, seconded by Trustee Estrada and adopted by a 5-0 vote.
Why it matters: formal claims against school districts are reviewed in closed session where allowed by law; boards must report certain actions taken in closed session when reconvening in public. The board's public report fulfilled that duty and recorded the vote and movers.
The meeting agenda listed closed-session items including "liability claim, claimant 657986," labor relations and public-employee discipline/performance evaluation. The board recessed into closed session in the evening and reconvened to report the claim vote and that there were no other reportable actions.
The board adjourned after the reconvened session. No further details about the claim or its substance were disclosed in open session.
