Summary
Trustees elected Carlos Aparicio vice president and Mrs. Carrera clerk, approved CSBA delegate nominees, adopted resolutions on reductions of services and seniority tie-breaks, and accepted completion of a portable-restroom project; all listed motions passed by roll call.
The East Whittier City School District board approved a series of actions in the meeting's business portion.
Leadership: Trustees voted to elect Carlos Aparicio as vice president and to name Mrs. Carrera as board clerk for 2026 after roll-call votes (both motions passed).
Appointments: The board nominated and approved up to six delegates for the 2026 California School Boards Association assembly; the nominated slate was approved by roll call.
Personnel resolutions: The board adopted Resolution No. 11-25/26 concerning the reduction or discontinuance of particular kinds of service, a change staff said is driven mainly by declining enrollment and adjustments to middle-school electives. Trustees also adopted Resolution No. 15-25/26, which establishes tie-break criteria to determine seniority among certificated employees who share the same first date of paid probation service; staff explained tie-breaks are a required procedural step when reductions are necessary.
Facilities and consent: Trustees accepted BYR 25-23 (portable-restroom installations at Ocean View and Scott Avenue Elementary Schools) as complete and authorized filing of the notice of completion. The board also approved the consent agenda (items K3–K12) and approved the February 2 meeting minutes by roll call.
Voting: Each of the motions on the published agenda passed by roll call. Board members who participated in the roll calls included Carlos Aparicio, Mrs. Carrera, Mrs. Chacon Kennedy, Mrs. Dabbs and Mr. Baird; Mrs. Valenzuela called the votes. Where counts were given on the record the motions passed unanimously.
