Mount Diablo Unified board adjourns to closed session over negotiations, personnel and several lawsuits
Summary
At its Jan. 22, 2025 meeting the Mount Diablo Unified School District board convened, recorded full attendance, and moved into closed session to discuss labor negotiations, a personnel matter and three named lawsuits; no public actions were recorded in the open portion of the transcript.
The Mount Diablo Unified School District board on Jan. 22, 2025, convened an open meeting, recorded a full roll call of trustees and then adjourned into closed session to discuss labor negotiations, personnel matters and several pending lawsuits, according to the meeting agenda.
Trustee Nzewi, Trustee Mason, Trustee Kount and Trustee McDougall were recorded present, and Linda Mayo identified herself during roll call. No members of the public submitted cards to address the board on closed-session items during the open portion of the meeting.
The agenda listed item 3.1 as negotiations and referenced Government Code provisions concerning negotiations and personnel discipline, dismissal, release or reassignment of a public employee (as stated on the agenda). Item 3.3 listed three existing litigation matters by name and court case number: Mount Diablo Unified School District v. Fabrizio Arnes, Matt Carl Luciano Arnes, Legion food trucks and unknown entity, Contra Costa County Superior Court case no. C2403115; JT v. Mount Diablo Unified School District (case number transcribed as "20 24, 1000 18"); and Bernstein v. Mount Diablo Unified School District, Contra Costa County Superior Court case no. C2401544. Item 3.4 listed anticipated litigation, noting one potential matter.
After reading the closed-session agenda items, the board adjourned to closed session. The open portion of the transcript ends with the adjournment; it does not record any public votes, motions or decisions on the matters listed for closed session.
The items on the agenda—labor negotiations, personnel discipline or reassignment and the named litigation cases—are matters typically handled out of public view under state law when specified on an agenda. Because the transcript contains only the open-session roll call, read statements of agenda items and the adjournment to closed session, there is no public record in this transcript of any deliberations, directions given in closed session, or outcomes.
