The Lemon Grove School District Governing Board on May 10 approved a five-day unpaid leave of absence for an employee and adopted a hearing panel’s recommendation to expel a student following a closed-session review.
The actions were disclosed after the board resumed open session at 6:00 p.m. Trustee Cheryl Robertson moved to approve the five-day unpaid leave for employee ID 21-22-683; the motion was seconded by Dr. Javier Ayala and carried with all five trustees voting yes. Robertson also moved to accept the presenting panel’s recommendation to expel student case 2022-824; Trustee Greg Shibley seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The board said both items had been discussed during a closed session convened under Government Code § 54957 (personnel). No further details about the personnel matter or the expulsion hearing’s findings were released at the meeting beyond the board’s formal actions and the student case identifier.
Trustee Dr. Javier Ayala, opening the board’s public session remarks, remarked on recent community events and said, “It’s good to see people out and to see their smiles and expressions.” That comment preceded the formal reporting of closed-session outcomes.
The board’s recorded votes on both items listed Dr. Javier Ayala, Yajaira Preciado, Cheryl Robertson, Timothy Shaw and Greg Shibley as voting in favor. The board did not provide additional public documentation of investigative findings or timelines for the personnel matter during the meeting.
The meeting later reconvened for additional business and the board readjourned to closed session again at 7:55 p.m.; when it returned at 9:23 p.m. there was no further report out. The meeting adjourned at 9:23 p.m.
