Governing body adjourns into closed session for superintendent evaluation

At the meeting, the chair opened with roll call, had Board member Fuentes lead the pledge of allegiance and then announced there were no public-comment speaker slips. The chair then said the assembly would adjourn into closed session to conduct a public employee performance evaluation for the superintendent.

The roll call included the names Medina, Torinojeda, Fuentes and two speakers listed as Flores; several members responded "Present," establishing the public meeting quorum. Board member Fuentes led attendees in the pledge of allegiance, reciting: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The chair thanked Fuentes after the pledge.

When the chair opened the public-comment period, the chair stated there were no public-comment speaker slips and that no members of the public were visible; the chair then closed public comment. The chair identified item 3.1 on the agenda as a "public employee performance evaluation for the superintendent" and said the meeting would adjourn into closed session for that purpose. The public portion of the transcript ends with that announcement; no public vote or deliberations on the superintendent evaluation were recorded in the public portion.

Closed sessions for public-employee evaluations are held outside the public portion of the meeting and typically are confidential. The chair did not disclose any content of the closed session in the public record and did not announce any subsequent public action before the meeting moved into closed session.
