Summary
The Calexico Unified School District board announced it appointed John Ruffridge as expanded learning coordinator, authorized releases of certain temporary certificated employees under Education Code section 44954 effective at the end of the 2025–26 school year, and approved a student-discipline recommendation; all actions were reported as unanimous.
The Calexico Unified School District board announced key personnel and disciplinary actions at the open session following a closed session report, and then adjourned after a unanimous vote.
The board’s public report was delivered by Mr. Jimenez, who told the board and public that trustees had approved several actions during a closed session. He said the board approved a motion by Trustee Contreras, seconded by Trustee Avena, to appoint John Ruffridge to the position of expanded learning coordinator; the appointment was recorded as approved unanimously, 5–0.
Mr. Jimenez also reported the board authorized the release of specified temporary certificated employees identified in the record only by employee numbers (248035238920, 8564946994221660638818118572896 and related identifiers). He said the releases were made pursuant to Education Code section 44954 and were effective at the end of the 2025–26 school year; the board ratified the legal notices for those employees and the action was reported as approved unanimously.
Under Item K, Mr. Jimenez reported the board acted on a recommended student-discipline matter. On a motion by Trustee Contreras, seconded by Trustee Veil, the board approved the recommendation in student-discipline case number 2526001 by a unanimous 5–0 vote, Mr. Jimenez said.
The board’s public report also included a previously recorded procedural motion — a motion by Trustee Contreras, seconded by Trustee Castillo — to extend the meeting to 9:30 p.m.; that action was listed in the closed-session announcements. After the announced items, the board moved to adjourn. The record includes the line "Adam Veil, adjournment," Mr. Jimenez said "So move," and a second was recorded; the chair then called the vote and the board adjourned on a 5–0 tally.
The announcements enumerated motions, the personnel appointment and the discipline case in brief; the record does not include additional background, staff reports, or the full text of the motions. The board concluded the meeting with a unanimous adjournment vote.
