Summary
After closed session the board reassigned two employees, issued a notice of non‑reelection to a probationary certificated employee, approved a $1,145 settlement resolving compensatory‑education claims at Bear River, and unanimously approved expulsions for three students and readmission for one student.
The Nevada Joint Union High School District Board of Trustees reported multiple closed‑session personnel actions and student discipline decisions at its March 12, 2025, meeting in Nevada City.
In closed session trustees voted unanimously to reassign two employees identified by employee numbers 4054 and 6339 to alternative administrative or teaching positions for the 2025–26 school year and directed the superintendent to serve notice on the affected employees. The board also voted unanimously to issue a notice of non‑reelection to a probationary certificated employee identified by employee number 6097 pursuant to Education Code section 44929.21, effective at the end of the 2024–25 school year.
Trustees also approved a settlement agreement between the parents of a Bear River student and the district to resolve a compensatory‑education claim. The board recorded the financial cost of that settlement as $1,145.
Later in the meeting, the board considered expulsions for three students (listed in the agenda as 25‑10, 25‑12 and 25‑13) covering the second semester of 2024–25 and the first semester of 2025–26. After a motion and a second trustees voted in the affirmative and “The expulsions are passed unanimously,” according to the meeting record. The board then considered and approved the readmission of student 24‑24 to the district; that motion also passed unanimously.
The board did not disclose identifying student details beyond the case numbers in the public record. The district cited applicable education‑code authority when describing the non‑reelection action; the transcript references Education Code section 44929.21 in that discussion.
Next procedural steps noted by trustees: affected employees will receive formal notices from the superintendent, and student discipline records will be handled in accordance with district policy and state law.
