Board announces closed-session actions: one student reinstated; several principal appointments and leave requests decided
Summary
After a closed session the board announced it voted to reinstate one expelled student, appointed three administrators (including Laura Bumatay) and approved one certificated leave of absence while denying three others; roll-call votes were read into the open session.
The Sweetwater Union High School District Board of Education announced on June 23 that, following a closed session, it approved several personnel and student-discipline actions.
Board minutes state the board reinstated one student. The public announcement gave the motion as "Moved by Lopez Aperta, second by Emeril to approve the reinstatement of 1 student," with the roll-call reported as Arancibia absent; Emeril yes; Sperta yes; Solis absent. The board also announced several administrative appointments made in closed session: Laura Bumatay was approved as "principal on special assignment" (motion recorded as moved by Lopez Apera, second by Emerald; vote recorded with Arancibia absent and Emerald and Lopez yes). John Patel was announced as approved for a principal position at Montgomery (motion recorded as moved by Lopez Hepeda, second by Lopez; Arancibia absent; Emeril yes; Lopez yes; Lopez Hepeda yes; Solis absent). Sofia Grama was announced as approved as principal at Mar Vista Academy (motion recorded as moved by Emeril, second by Lopez Hepeda; Varoncivia absent; Emeril yes; Lopez yes; Lopez Hepeda yes; Solis absent).
The board also reported action on certificated leave requests: a motion was recorded to approve the request for leave of absence for one certificated employee and to deny three other certificated leave requests. The recorded roll-call for that motion listed Arancibia yes; Emerald yes; Lopez yes; multiple Lopez entries marked yes; Solis absent.
These actions were announced when the board reconvened in open session; the board did not provide additional details such as employee file numbers or student names beyond the general descriptions required by law. The closed-session agenda items cited Education Code sections 48916–48918 for student expulsions and Government Code sections 54957, 54956.9 and 54957.6 for public-employee matters and labor negotiations.
