CVUSD board approves three stipulated expulsions; declines employee resignation agreement in 3-2 vote
Summary
In a closed-session announcement, the Coachella Valley Unified School District board approved three stipulated expulsions and voted 3–2 not to approve a proposed resignation agreement for an identified employee.
The Coachella Valley Unified School District board announced in open session Tuesday that it approved three stipulated expulsions in closed session and did not approve a proposed resignation agreement for an employee by a 3–2 vote.
A staff member read the closed-session actions after the board returned to open session. The board approved expulsion case number 24\25-012 for stipulated expulsion; the motion was made by Trustee Traci Arredondo and seconded by Trustee Tortoise. The board then approved expulsion case number 24\25-013 for stipulated expulsion; the motion was made by Trustee Arredondo and seconded by Trustee Garcia. The board approved expulsion case number 24\25-014 for stipulated expulsion; the motion was made by Trustee Traci Arredondo and seconded by Trustee Tortoise. Each of those motions carried on recorded votes of 5–0.
The board also considered a proposed resignation agreement for an employee identified as employee number 2025\09\680. The board did not approve the resignation agreement; the vote was 3–2. The recording indicated the ayes were Trustee Arredondo, Trustee Cortez and Trustee Vargas; the noes were Trustee Acuna and Trustee Garcia.
Because the expulsions and the resignation agreement were acted on in closed session, the board provided only the case numbers and the outcomes when it returned to open session; the board did not provide additional details about the factual bases for the expulsions or the terms of the proposed resignation agreement.
The board's formal readout followed its closed session, which the board called at the meeting's start and to which members of the public were invited to address closed-session items during the public comment period prior to the closed session. The transcript shows the board announced the closed-session actions promptly after reconvening in open session.
No other legal authorities or supporting documents were disclosed publicly during the readout. The board's action items were recorded in the meeting minutes as stipulated expulsions (three approved) and a declined resignation agreement (vote 3–2).
