Board approves amended facilities MOU with Allegiance STEAM Academy amid staff safety concerns at alternative site
Summary
The Chino Valley Unified School District board approved an amended facilities memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Allegiance STEAM Academy by a 5-0 vote after public commenters raised safety and property-damage concerns at the district's Alternative Education Center and urged campus security measures.
The Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Education approved an amended facilities memorandum of understanding with Allegiance STEAM Academy for the 2025-26 school year by a 5-0 vote.
The measure matters because classified staff representatives and parents told the board the Alternative Education Center (AEC) that hosts Allegiance has experienced property damage and behavior that they said has led to assaults and safety concerns. Commenters asked the district to add campus security measures at the AEC to protect students and staff.
Danny Hernandez, representing California School Employees Association (CSEA) Chapter 102, told the board that staff at the AEC had reported property damage and that some classified and certificated staff had been physically assaulted. "Maybe a campus security guard or a campus guard at the gate would help," Hernandez said. "This is not to say that we don't agree or don't want Allegiance there, but it's the protection of all students and staff." The remarks were part of the public-comment record before the board took action on the MOU.
Board members moved and seconded the recommended approval of the amended facilities MOU as agenda item 2.b.1. The board president called for a roll call; the motion passed 5-0. The transcript records the board's vote as unanimous and notes the attendance of five board members.
During later remarks the board asked staff to look into the safety concerns raised by speakers. Superintendent Dr. Enfield confirmed staff were aware and working on the matter when board members asked for follow-up. The board did not amend the MOU on the dais or attach new security conditions before the vote.
The public record at the meeting shows multiple speakers requesting district follow-up rather than a formal change to the MOU. The board's approval authorizes the amended use of district facilities by Allegiance STEAM Academy for 2025-26 as placed on the agenda; the MOU itself and any implementation details were not read aloud in full during the meeting.
Board members and staff indicated next steps included internal review and follow-up with site administrators and district operations; no additional formal action was taken at the meeting.
Clarifying details: the MOU vote was recorded as 5-0 in favor; speakers asked specifically for campus security at the AEC and for greater input from AEC staff on the MOU. The transcript does not specify contract language, funding for security, or any timeline for additional measures.
