Summary
After closed session the board approved several personnel actions including certificated non-reelection notices to be issued before March 15, reassignments for vice principals and principals, student expulsions and readmissions, a $2,000 scholarship sponsorship and adoption of multiple mandated policies.
The San Bernardino City Unified Board of Education returned from closed session and approved a series of personnel and policy actions, including notices of nonrenewal for certificated employees, reassignments, student discipline outcomes and mandated policy revisions.
Board president Myra Ceballos read resolutions and action language on personnel items. The board approved a resolution authorizing issuance of notices to specified certificated employee identification numbers that their employment would not be renewed for the 2026–27 school year, with written notice to be provided prior to March 15, 2026, pursuant to Ed. Code 44929.21.
The board also approved certificated reassignments for vice principals and principals and authorized the superintendent or designee to provide required written notice under Ed. Code 44951. The motions on these items were moved and seconded and recorded as carried.
On student discipline, the board adopted recommendations for expulsion in cases excluding mandatory offenses but remanded one matter to youth court and later authorized readmission of listed students in compliance with referenced Education Code provisions.
During open session the board approved a $2,000 sponsorship for the annual battalion scholarship program (item 8.1), and later approved the personnel report and compensation for Board Member Scott Wyatt for meeting attendance on March 3, 2026. The board also selected delegates for the California School Boards Association assembly and adopted several mandated policy revisions (student records; hate-motivated behavior; health care and emergencies).

All actions were recorded on the meeting record as moved, seconded and carried; where specific employee identification numbers were read into the record the clerk specified that notices will be issued consistent with cited Education Code sections.
Why it matters: Personnel notices and reassignments affect staffing and operations for the upcoming school year and trigger statutory notice requirements. The board’s actions begin administrative processes (notice, possible appeals) required by the cited Education Code provisions.
The meeting's minutes list the specific employee identification numbers and the Ed. Code citations used for the legal basis of the notices; the board’s final administrative steps (issuance of written notices) are the immediate next actions.
