Summary
At its reorganization meeting trustees swore in a member with family present, elected Melissa Crow as board president, appointed Courtney Monk clerk, and adopted an amendment allowing trustees to purchase district benefits at negotiated rates at no cost to the district.
The Los Gatos Union School District Board of Trustees opened its meeting with an oath-of-office ceremony during which Dan Snyder was sworn in with his daughter Elizabeth Snyder participating. Trustees then completed reorganization steps: Melissa Crow was nominated and approved as board president and Courtney Monk was nominated and confirmed as clerk.
The board recognized longtime trustee Stephen Parsons for decades of service, with staff citing Parsons' role on parcel tax efforts and multiple terms as president.
Separately, the board approved Resolution No. 08-24-25 to amend Board Bylaw 9250 so trustees may buy into the district's benefit structure at the negotiated rate and "at no cost to the district," staff emphasized during the discussion. Staff clarified that enrollment is a qualifying event and the 30-day enrollment rule applies.
All procedural motions for officers and the bylaw amendment were approved by roll call or voice vote.
