Loading...
Summary
Trustees adopted Resolution 2526-09 addressing demands to cure or correct a prior board action. Trustee Maria Akpara urged the board to adopt formal rules of order; the motion passed after a roll-call vote.
The Apple Valley Unified Board of Trustees voted to adopt Resolution 2526-09 on April 28, which the agenda described as related to demands to cure or correct board action from April 2, 2026.
During discussion Trustee Maria Akpara pressed the board to "formally acknowledge and adopt some rules of order," naming Robert's Rules of Order and Rosenberg's Rules as models, and said formal procedures would protect the district from potential future liability. After limited discussion the board called the question and voted by roll call. The clerk recorded votes: Renee Longshore voted no; other voting members voted yes; the motion passed.
The resolution number was read into the record as "2526-09." The board did not provide additional detail about the content of the resolution during the meeting; the transcript records the motion, discussion about adopting rules of order and the roll-call votes but not the ordinance text itself.
Trustees later discussed arranging governance training through the California School Boards Association so the board could begin implementing clearer meeting procedures. The board did not adopt formal rules of order at this meeting; they agreed to pursue governance training and get consultant proposals on a later agenda.
The board adjourned at 1:23 p.m.
