The Brea Olinda Unified School District board approved a slate of motions without dissent, including an appointment to special education leadership and several 2024–25 agreements and memoranda of understanding.
In a closed‑session report, the board appointed Dr. Alejandra Velez as Administrative Director of Special Education and Student Services, effective Sept. 1; the appointment was reported as a 5–0 vote. Dr. Velez briefly addressed the board, thanking members and Superintendent Leon and saying she was "very excited to be here," and noting roughly 17 years of experience in special and general education.
The board also approved routine governance and operational items by unanimous voice votes, recorded on the record as 'Passes 5 0.' Approvals included the superintendent’s attendance at an education law conference; the adoption of board policies and administrative regulations; a 2024–25 human resources MOU on longevity and vacation days; and 2024–25 agreements with Charitable Ventures of Orange County (Project Kinship), Stepping Stones Therapy Inc., an agreement listed in the agenda as with 'Edmonton' (description not specified in the transcript), and a contract with Team Civics for political and voter polling consulting. Several motions were moved and seconded on the floor, and trustees indicated aye before each unanimous passage.
Where the transcript does not record a specific mover or seconder by name, the meeting record shows the motions were made, seconded and carried. The board clerk announced each 'Aye' vote and recorded the results as five in favor, none opposed.
The motion list and outcomes will be reflected in the official minutes and posted meeting materials.
