Mount Diablo Unified board adjourns to closed session on negotiations, personnel and two liability claims

The Mount Diablo Unified School District Board of Education convened its public meeting Sept. 10 at 5 p.m. and adjourned to closed session to consider labor negotiations, personnel matters, anticipated litigation and two liability claims, the meeting presider said.

Under items listed on the agenda as 3.1 through 3.6, the board planned to consider labor negotiations under California Government Code §54957.6; discipline, dismissal or reassignment of a public employee under Government Code §54957(b)(1); anticipated litigation with its legal counsel; two separate liability claims under Government Code §54956.95 (identified on the agenda as claimant “CF” and claimant “CF2” against the Mount Diablo Unified School District); and public employee performance evaluations under Government Code §54957.

No public comment cards were submitted for closed-session items, the presider noted before the board left open session. The presider told the room the board would return at 6 p.m., saying, “We will adjourn to closed session and be back here at 6PM.”

The meeting transcript records the agenda descriptions and claimant names as written on the agenda; it does not record any discussion or decisions made in closed session. Any reportable action that the board must disclose under state law would be announced after the board returned to open session, if applicable.

The board’s agenda identified the matters by statutory citation and by claimant label only; the transcript does not provide additional factual detail about the claims, the subject of the personnel matters, or the likely timeline for any public disclosures.
