Board approves routine business items: surplus equipment, CityView charter renewal and superintendent contract

The Hillsboro School District board approved several consent and action items during the regular session.

Surplus equipment and disposal: The board voted to declare the listed items surplus and authorized disposal in accordance with district surplus policy. Director Nancy Thomas moved the motion and it was seconded from the dais. During discussion board members noted specific items — including five upright pianos — and asked how proceeds from auctions are recorded; finance staff said proceeds return to the district and will be reflected in future reports. The motion passed by roll call with all directors voting aye.

CityView Charter School agreement (2025–2030): The board approved a five-year renewal of the CityView Charter School agreement. The district said it added contract language (section 6.3) to address recruitment and communication about enrollment among local groups and that CityView had ratified the revised charter. Director Erica Lopez moved approval and Director Monique Ward seconded; the roll call vote was unanimous.

Superintendent performance evaluation and personnel action: The board read and placed a formal evaluation letter in the superintendent’s personnel file after a standards-based evaluation process. The board commended the superintendent for his leadership and approved an individual employment contract extending from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. Both actions were adopted by roll call vote with all directors recorded as voting yes.

How the votes were recorded: Roll-call results for these items were recorded in the meeting minutes with unanimous “aye” votes by: Erica Lopez, Patrick McGuire, Nancy Thomas, Monique Ward, Mark Watson and Yvette Pantoja.
