Chino Valley Unified board appoints special-education leaders, directs superintendent to respond to DOJ
Summary
In closed session the board appointed two special-education administrators effective July 1, 2025, and voted to direct the superintendent to respond to a U.S. Department of Justice communication; the transcript records the appointments carrying by unanimous votes.
The Chino Valley Unified Board of Education appointed two special-education administrators and directed the superintendent to respond to a U.S. Department of Justice letter, the board said during a report out from closed session.
The appointments named Randy Chaplick as director of special education and Anna Villanueva Escalante to a special-education coordinator role and to a principal position effective July 1, 2025, the board reported. The board’s report says each appointment carried by a 5-0 vote of the board members present.
The matter that produced the closed-session meeting included “conference with legal counsel” on anticipated and existing litigation, student admission and discipline matters, labor negotiations, and public-employee personnel items, according to the record. After that closed session, the board reported it had also directed the superintendent to respond to a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice; the transcript records the motion as carrying and notes one member was absent for that roll call.
The board did not release additional details about the litigation or the DOJ letter in open session beyond reporting the action and that the required public disclosure has been made. The superintendent will make any further disclosures required by law when formal proceedings are begun or upon inquiry, the board said.
Board members present and recorded in the meeting reconvening were Yohanan Cervantes, Andres Cruz, Jonathan Monroe, Jaime Na and Sonia Shaw. Dr. Enfield, the district superintendent, spoke during the meeting’s open session but did not provide additional public details about the closed-session legal matters.
The appointments take effect July 1, 2025. No further personnel or litigation details were disclosed at the public meeting.
Notes: The board’s report out referenced closed-session topics and identified the appointments and the directive to respond to the DOJ; no new vote tallies or motion language were published beyond the board’s summary and the roll-call counts provided in the meeting record.
