The Coachella Valley Unified School District Board of Education announced June 26 that it terminated the employment of a certificated employee following an administrative law judge decision.

“In closed session, the board took action to terminate employment of certificated employee 2025/12/June per administrative law judge decision OAH number 2025030216, dated 06/09/2025, wherein termination of employment is effective 06/10/2025,” Clerk Valerie Garcia said, reading the board’s announcement. She told the board the superintendent or designee was directed to send appropriate legal notices.

The board made the announcement after returning from closed session and reported the roll‑call tally as five ayes, zero noes and zero abstentions. The item was presented as an implementation of the administrative law judge’s OAH decision; the announcement named the OAH case number but did not provide further factual background about the personnel matter in open session.

The board recorded no additional public deliberation on the termination in open session. The district said staff were directed to complete statutory and legal notifications as required by the earlier administrative law judge decision.

The board’s announcement provides the formal outcome and next procedural steps; the district did not release further details about the underlying charges or the ALJ’s written ruling during the meeting.
