Calexico Unified board announces campus security officer separation, upholds superintendent decision

The Calexico Unified School District Board of Trustees, announced in open session by the clerk, said the board approved the employment separation of a campus security officer and voted to uphold the superintendent's decision on a complaint against an employee, both by a 4-0 roll call with Trustee Michael Castillo listed as absent.

The clerk reported that the actions were taken in closed session and then disclosed the outcomes in open session. The clerk said the employment separation was approved and that the board —voted to uphold the decision of the superintendent on a complaint against an employee under board policy/regulation 1312.1.

The transcript records the seconded motion history inconsistently: the clerk first says the motion to uphold the superintendent's decision was "on a motion of Trustee Contreras, seconded by Trustee Avena," while later the clerk repeats that "the motion was made by Trustee Contreras, and it was seconded by Trustee Calderon." The board announced the roll-call result as 4-0 with Trustee Michael Castillo absent; the transcript does not record an explicit roll-call naming each vote.

After the announcements the clerk called for adjournment, recorded a motion and a second, heard two "aye" voice votes and declared the motion passed, and the meeting was adjourned.

No additional details about the underlying complaint, the name of the employee, or next procedural steps were provided in the public statement. The clerk's announcement cited "board policy administered regulation 1312.1" as the governing policy for the complaint; the transcript did not specify further factual findings or sanctions beyond the employment separation announcement.

The meeting record shows two substantive closed-session outcomes were disclosed in open session and the board then adjourned.
