Sweetwater Union High boards ratify members, elect officers and accept 2024–25 audits; board recesses to closed session

The Sweetwater Union High School District’s financing boards met Tuesday to ratify members, elect officers, approve meeting minutes and accept the district’s 2024–25 fiscal‑year audits, all by unanimous votes, before the district board recessed to closed session on student discipline and legal matters.

Speaker 4 opened each short meeting and the clerk called the roll. During the first meeting, the Financing Corporation ratified the district trustees as its board of directors, ratified officers (including president, vice president, secretary/clerk, superintendent, treasurer and chief financial officer), approved the minutes of the 01/27/2025 meeting and accepted the district’s audit and responses to audit findings. Each action was moved, seconded and recorded by the clerk as passing 5–0.

The Public Financing Authority then convened and took identical actions: ratifying trustees as members of the Authority board, ratifying officers, approving its 01/27/2025 minutes and accepting the 2024–25 audit of district funds and accounts and the district’s responses to audit recommendations. Each Authority item passed unanimously, 5–0.

At the start of the regular board meeting, Speaker 4 read the public participation rules and cited Government Code section 54954.3; the clerk reported there were no public speakers. The board then recessed to closed session to consider student expulsions and reinstatements under Education Code sections 48916–48918, public‑employee discipline or dismissal under Government Code section 54957, conference with legal counsel concerning existing and anticipated litigation under Government Code section 54956.9, and conference with the labor negotiator under Government Code section 54957.6.

There was no substantive public comment or extended debate recorded in the meeting transcript. No motions failed, and the record shows unanimous approval for each listed motion. The meeting record indicates the board adjourned into closed session to take up the listed personnel and legal matters; no final actions from closed session were reported in the provided transcript.

The district’s written audit and the district response to audit findings were accepted during the meetings; the transcript records acceptance but does not include details of audit findings or any follow‑up steps beyond the clerk’s announcement of the motions’ passage.
