Summary
The Coronado Unified Board approved the consent calendar and several action items including the annual declaration of need for educators, an early-retirement reduced workload participation, and establishment and appointments to a facilities advisory committee.
At its meeting the Coronado Unified Board carried multiple routine and personnel items by voice vote.
Key actions and outcomes recorded in the meeting minutes: - Agenda approval with a change: board moved item 2.5 to precede item 2.4. Motion carried (vote not specified in transcript). - Consent calendar (consolidated motion for item 3) approved by voice vote; no items were pulled for separate action. - Item 4.1: The board approved the annual Declaration of Need for Highly Qualified Educators for the 2025–26 school year, which allows the district to report anticipated difficult-to-fill vacancies to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and to authorize the use of intern or emergency CLAD credentials where required. Motion carried. - Item 4.2: The board approved participation in the early-retirement reduced-workload program (also known as the Willie Brown option under Education Code 44922) for 2025–26, permitting eligible certificated staff to reduce workload and retain full retirement and health benefits; a CMS teacher (Kathleen Cotton) was cited as an example seeking to reduce to 80% workload. Motion carried. - Item 4.3: The board established a Facilities Advisory 7–11 committee and appointed eight community members to two-year terms: Bruce Shepherd, Casey Tanaka, David Udell, JT Kearns, Julie Braga, Marriott Monroy, Sarah Yacudas and Stacy Morrissey.
