Mount Diablo Unified board adjourns to closed session to discuss negotiations, personnel, litigation and a liability claim

The Mount Diablo Unified School District Board of Education met June 25, 2025, and at 5:03 p.m. adjourned to closed session to consider labor negotiations; the discipline, dismissal, release or reassignment of a public employee; pending litigation titled JS v. Mount Diablo Unified School District (Office of Administrative Hearings case no. 2025041068); and a liability claim identified by the initials MG against the district.

The board called roll before moving to closed session. Trustees Nseve, McDougall, Mason and Mayo were present; the board noted an existing vacancy. The board chair announced there were no public comment cards submitted and that the meeting would proceed to the closed-session agenda. The chair identified the closed-session items as: negotiations under Government Code section 54957.6; public-employee discipline, dismissal, release or reassignment under Government Code section 54957(b)(1); conference with legal counsel regarding existing litigation (JS v. Mount Diablo Unified School District, OAH case no. 2025041068); and liability claims under Government Code section 54956.95, naming a complaint by an individual with the initials MG.

Because the matters were moved into closed session, no public deliberations or votes on the substance of those items were recorded in the public portion of the meeting. The district did not announce any public outcomes or timelines for returning to open session during the recorded portion of the transcript.
