Board appoints Alina Calamanas to trustee Area 2 and administers oath
Summary
Following interviews, trustees appointed Alina Calamanas to fill the trustee Area 2 vacancy and administered her oath of office; the appointment passed by roll-call vote after successive motions.
The Coachella Valley Unified School District board appointed Alina Calamanas to serve as provisional trustee for Area 2 during Monday's meeting.
Trustees conducted a nomination and roll-call process. An initial motion to appoint Antonio Aguilar did not reach the needed support; a subsequent motion to appoint Alina Calamanas was seconded and passed by roll-call vote. Board members then administered the oath of office to Calamanas and welcomed her to the board.
President Jocelyn Vargas and others congratulated the new trustee and the board briefly recessed to allow documentation and signatures. Trustees said they appreciated all candidates and emphasized the need to continue outreach across the district.
Next steps: The appointee signed required documents and will serve in the trustee area pending any further formalities required by district policy or county oversight.
