Buena Park School District board reports closed‑session settlement, approves $28,000 one‑time and $78,000 annual costs in 5‑0 vote

The Buena Park School District governing board reported that it approved a settlement agreement in closed session and then voted 5‑0 to implement the agreement, according to the meeting transcript. The settlement covers terms "reached on services not provided by the district," and the board recorded a one‑time payment of $28,000 and an ongoing annual cost of $78,000.

Speaker 2, speaking for the meeting record, said the agreement was approved unanimously and announced that the first motion came from Mister Chong and the second from Mister Estrada. The transcript does not include the full, verbatim motion text or the parties to the settlement; those details were not specified in public remarks recorded in the transcript.

Earlier in the meeting, board members briefly discussed Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals and actions and mentioned reviewing staffing positions "on an almost a running annual look" so the district remains competitive. A motion to reconvene was called and approved 5‑0 at 08:02, and the board adjourned at 08:03 after a separate motion to adjourn that was moved by Mister Jensen and seconded by Mister Chong.

The transcript does not identify full legal citations or outside authorities for the settlement, and it does not specify how the one‑time payment or the annual cost will be funded (budget line items or funding sources were not specified). The meeting record as provided does not list the exact parties to the settlement or the substantive services at issue; those items were discussed in closed session and only the financial terms and vote were reported out in open session.

The board recorded all votes as "Aye," and Speaker 2 announced the meeting's adjournment at 08:03. No further public comment or additional actions were recorded in the supplied transcript.
