Chino Valley Unified Board adjourns into closed session on litigation, personnel, student and labor matters

The Chino Valley Unified Board of Education on May 15, 2025, at 4:10 p.m. adjourned into closed session to discuss two existing litigation cases, one anticipated litigation matter, student readmission and student-discipline matters, labor negotiations with ACT and CSEA, public employee discipline and possible dismissal or release, public employee appointment for elementary principals, and the superintendent's performance evaluation.

The items listed for closed session were read from the printed agenda, which the board member or meeting official identified before adjourning. Board members noted present were Cervantes Cruz, Naugh and Shaw; Monroe was listed as absent. A meeting participant identified as Patay was asked whether any members of the public wished to speak on closed-session items before the board entered closed session.

The transcript does not record discussion or any formal votes taken in closed session. The board's announcement described the topics to be discussed but did not state outcomes, motions, or directions; because those matters were moved to closed session they are not public in the transcript provided. Any formal actions, votes or public reports resulting from the closed session would be recorded in subsequent minutes or a public report if and when the board chooses to disclose them.

The board's stated closed-session agenda items were: two existing litigation cases; one anticipated litigation matter; student readmission matters; student-discipline matters; conference with labor negotiators concerning ACT and CSEA; public-employee discipline, dismissal or release; public-employee appointment for elementary principals; and the superintendent's performance evaluation. The agenda reference said the full details were on the printed agenda.
