Board approves agenda items and reports closed-session separation agreement and superintendent evaluation
Loading...
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved several action and consent items, then in closed session approved a separation agreement accepting a resignation effective May 29, 2025 and later reported an "exceeded expectations" evaluation for Superintendent Dr. Julian Lee.
The Buena Park School District Board of Trustees approved multiple action and consent calendar items by unanimous votes, then reported two closed-session outcomes when the meeting reconvened.
At the open meeting trustees voted 5–0 to approve the agenda and later approved minutes from the May 12, 2025 regular meeting. Action items approved unanimously included Buena Park Middle School and Beatty Middle School overnight trips for 2025–26, the adoption of the Amplify mCLASS DIBELS edition screener for early reading risk, an amended district conflict-of-interest code with additional positions added, and a new job description and classification for an Early Education Program Supervisor. The board approved consent calendar items b through o in a single motion that passed 5–0.
Why it matters: These approvals authorize specific programs, assessments and administrative changes that affect operations, student activities and district governance documentation.
Closed session report: After returning from closed session the board announced two public items. First, the board "approve[d] a separation agreement between employee number 0800001012 and the district" and accepted the employee’s resignation effective May 29, 2025; the board authorized the superintendent to carry out required notifications. That action was reported as taken by a 5–0 vote.
Second, the board reported the superintendent’s performance evaluation. The board stated the superintendent "exceeded expectations" and the trustees were unanimous in that rating; the meeting record indicates no formal public vote for the evaluation.
No other formal board disciplinary or contract actions were reported. The meeting adjourned after the board completed its reporting out from closed session.
