San Ramon Valley Unified board accepts closed-session agenda to consider executive director of curriculum and instruction appointment

The San Ramon Valley Unified School District Board of Education voted to accept a closed-session agenda that includes consideration of a public employee appointment for the executive director of curriculum and instruction, citing California Government Code section 54957.

The closed-session item (5.1) was announced at the start of the meeting, and the board noted that the session would be held under Government Code section 54957, which authorizes closed deliberations on public employee appointments. The meeting was recorded and livestreamed on the district's YouTube channel.

During roll call, trustees briefly introduced themselves: "I'm Shelley Clark, and I represent Area 2," said Shelley Clark. Laura Brett said, "I'm Laura Brett, and I represent Area 3." Rachel Hurd identified herself as representing Trustee Area 5. Jessie Vancy said, "My name is Jessie Vancy. I represent Area 1." Susanna Ordway identified herself as representing Area 4.

A board member moved to accept the closed-session agenda. The motion was voiced at the dais by Laura Brett; a second was stated but the transcript does not clearly associate that second with a named trustee. Following the motion, the presiding member called for the vote and members present responded "Aye," and the motion carried. The public record provided by the transcript does not include a roll-call tally by name.

With the motion passed, the board proceeded to the next item on the agenda. The closed session will consider the public employee appointment referenced under Government Code section 54957. No further details about the candidate or the timing of the closed session were stated in the public portion of the meeting.
