Board approves expulsions and employment agreements for key district leaders
Summary
In open session the Board approved several stipulated expulsion agreements and voted to confirm employment contracts for a set of district executive staff. Roll-call votes were recorded for each motion.
At the start of open session the board took formal action on student expulsion agreements that had been heard in closed session and later approved employment contracts for multiple district executives.
Student expulsions: The board approved stipulated expulsion agreements for three students (matters identified in the record by case numbers). The motions described suspended expulsion status for fall 2025 and placements at alternative sites during the enforcement period: - One middle-school stipulated expulsion agreement (case text in record: "matter number 2020420 5257"—text as read on the record) for remainder of spring 2025 and fall 2025 with suspended expulsion for fall 2025; during the suspended period the student will attend Civic Center (board vote: 7 ayes, roll call recorded). - One high-school stipulated expulsion agreement (case text read as "2024202528") for remainder of spring 2025 and fall 2025 with suspended expulsion for fall 2025; during spring 2025 the student will attend Civic Center Secondary (vote: 7 ayes, roll call recorded). - One middle-school stipulated expulsion agreement (case text read as "2024202529") with suspended expulsion for fall 2025; during the enforcement period the student will attend San Francisco Middle School (vote: 7 ayes, roll call recorded).
Employment contracts: The board voted to approve one-year employment agreements (mostly 07/01/2025–06/30/2026) for several senior managers. Financial terms read into the record included salary grades and step placements. The motions passed by roll call: - Christy Herrera, Assistant Superintendent PK–5: employment agreement 07/01/2025–06/30/2026; salary grade 6, step 8 (motion approved 7 ayes). - Jennifer Steiner, Assistant Superintendent, Middle School and K–8: 07/01/2025–06/30/2026; salary grade 6, step 4 (motion approved 7 ayes). - Divina Goldwasser, Assistant Superintendent, High Schools and College & Career Readiness: 07/01/2025–06/30/2026; salary grade 6, step 5 (motion approved 7 ayes). - Eddie Ngo, Technology Service Officer: 05/28/2025–12/31/2025; salary grade 6, step 4 (motion approved 7 ayes). - Amy Baer, Associate Superintendent of Human Resources: 07/01/2025–06/30/2026; salary grade 8, step 8 (motion approved 7 ayes).
Why it matters: Expulsion resolutions are final student-discipline outcomes recorded in open session; employment contracts set leadership continuity for FY26 and define salary placements the board reviews annually.
Roll-call and documentation: For each motion the clerk conducted a roll call with each commissioner recorded as voting "Yes"; the motions recorded 7 ayes. The meeting minutes reflect the exact motion text read into the record and the salary-grade placements for each contract.
Ending: Board action closed the listed items; the public record contains the case numbers read into the record for the expulsions and the salary placements for the contracts.
