Board approves several routine and personnel items, selects auditor; 3–2 split on legal-counsel motion
Summary
At its Feb. 25 special meeting the board approved consent items, trustee compensation, selection of an independent auditor (CWDL) unanimously, personnel resolutions and a motion on legal counsel that passed 3–2; a motion to terminate a consultant drew a 3–2 split the other way.
The Perris Union High School District board handled multiple business and personnel actions on Feb. 25, approving several items by voice vote and recorded tallies.
Key outcomes:
• Trustee compensation for a missed meeting: motion approved (chair announced the vote as 4 in favor, 0 opposed, with an attendance notation recorded).
• Consulting services (item 12.2): board debated whether to continue a monthly consulting contract (listed in the agenda materials) and a motion to terminate was moved. The chair recorded a tally described in the transcript as "3 opposed and 2 in favor," indicating the motion as presented did not carry in the form described during the discussion.
• Legal-firm retention (item 12.3): after discussion the board voted 3 in favor, 2 opposed to designate Orbach, Huff & Henderson LLP as the primary law firm for existing and future cases; trustees asked administration to provide contracts and case lists before operational transfers of matters occur.
• Campus supervisors to campus security negotiations (item 12.4): the board directed the district to negotiate changes with bargaining units; motion passed 4 in favor, 1 opposed.
• Personnel resolutions (items 12.5, 12.6): the board moved and approved a resolution regarding certificated employee release/reassignment and separately approved elimination/discontinuation and layoff of certain classified management employees for 2025–26 by a 5–0 tally where recorded.
• Business items: the board approved filing Form J-13A (attendance allowance request) and unanimously selected CWDL as the independent auditor (vote recorded 5–0).
The board adjourned at about 6:26 p.m. and asked administration to furnish additional documentation (contracts, case lists, and budget detail) where trustees requested further review.
