Chino Valley Unified school board adjourns to closed session on litigation, student and personnel matters

The Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Education convened at 4 p.m. June 5, 2025, and adjourned to closed session to discuss anticipated litigation, an existing legal case, student admission and readmission matters, student discipline, labor negotiations with ACT and CSEA, and personnel appointments and possible discipline, the presiding officer said.

Those topics were described on the printed agenda, which the presiding officer cited before moving into closed session: “We will now adjourn to closed session regarding the following matters, which are all described in detail on the printed agenda,” the presiding officer said. The agenda items listed anticipated litigation, an existing litigation matter (one case), student admission and readmission matters, student discipline matters, conference with labor negotiators for ACT and CSEA, public employee appointments for directors, a special education coordinator and elementary principals, and public employee discipline/dismissal/release.

Peppermint Patty, identified in the meeting transcript as a staff member, was asked whether any members of the public wished to speak on closed-session items; she reported none. The board also corrected an agenda reference, amending item g from case number 23-24-007 to 24-25-07.

The board noted that the listed items required confidentiality under state law and that any outcomes subject to disclosure would be released as allowed by statute. Jonathan Monroe was recorded as absent at roll call.
