Summary
Trustees approved a facilities‑use agreement, extended the meeting, passed multiple consent items and appointed interim and director positions; several votes were unanimous and one TOSA job description passed 6–1.
During the Feb. 12 meeting the Santa Clara Unified Board of Trustees approved a set of consent and personnel items and several appointments.
The board approved item K‑1 (facilities use for Group 1.5 organizations for the 2026–27 year) after trustee questions about participant data and two trustees recused themselves; the motion passed 5–0 with Trustees Rodterman/Ratermann and Watanabe recused. Later the board unanimously approved human resources consent items (H1–H16) and other consent business.
On personnel matters the board appointed Alyssa Meltzer as interim assistant superintendent of educational services, Susan Jessick as director of human resources and Griselda Espinosa as risk manager. Those appointments passed unanimously. The board also approved a new Teacher on Special Assignment job description (J‑4) by a 6–1 vote; Trustee Rotterman cast the lone no vote. Trustees extended the meeting to 3 a.m. to allow continued public comment and then adjourned at 1:04 a.m.
These staffing appointments and job description changes are part of the district’s broader planning and will be implemented through Human Resources as part of routine onboarding and position‑control updates.
