Board reports confidential settlements approved in closed session, including certificated employee matter and Kronos/UKG agreement

The Temecula Valley Unified School District Board of Education reported results of closed-session actions during the July 22 meeting, disclosing two settlement approvals.

The board disclosed that it voted to approve a settlement agreement and release for a certificated employee (identified in the meeting as employee number 112899) effective July 21, 2025. The motion was moved by Trustee Melinda Anderson and seconded by Trustee Joseph Komaroski and adopted unanimously 5–0.

The board also reported a separate motion approving a confidential settlement agreement between TVUSD and Kronos, described in the meeting as ‘‘Kronos, s a a s h r Inc, a UKG company.’’ That motion was moved by Trustee Anderson and seconded by Trustee Steven Schwartz and was adopted unanimously 5–0.

Why it matters: Reporting closed-session actions is a statutory obligation for public boards when they take certain personnel and litigation actions in closed session. The board provided the basic outcomes and effective date for the certificated employee settlement and confirmed unanimous approval of the Kronos/UKG confidential settlement.

What was not disclosed: The board did not disclose the settlement amounts or further terms in open session; it reported votes and the effective date for the certificated employee matter only. Trustees listed the procedural motion and vote counts during the open session report-out.

Next steps: Any follow-up reporting will be limited to what the Brown Act and district policy require; the board did not provide additional financial details at the meeting.
