Paramount Unified board announces settlement approval and several administrative appointments
Summary
The Paramount Unified School District board reported unanimous closed-session votes approving a settlement and multiple July 1 administrative appointments, including a director of secondary education and several principals and assistant principals.
The Paramount Unified Board of Education announced on May 14 that, during closed session, it approved a settlement agreement and unanimously appointed multiple district administrators effective July 1, 2025.
A district staff member reported the board approved a settlement in the matter recorded as OA case 20250 721; the motion was moved by Martinez and seconded by Deleó, and the board voted 5–0 to approve. The board also voted unanimously to appoint Amanda Bentley as director of secondary education (Schedule A, Step 2); Nicholas Garcia as a middle-school principal (Schedule W, Step 3); Anna Yasahara and Andrew Estrada as elementary principals (Schedule I, Step 4); and Benell Patel and Christine Panel as K–8 assistant principals (Schedule G, Step 1). The clerk recorded motions moved by Martinez and seconded by Cruz for the personnel actions, each approved 5–0.
These actions were announced publicly after the closed session reconvened. The board did not discuss the details of the settlement on the public record beyond acknowledging its approval; the settlement reference number was provided by staff. The announcements also noted the positions’ effective date as July 1, 2025, and the salary schedule step for each appointment.
Next steps: the board recessed later in the evening to return to closed session for additional confidential matters. Public records related to the appointments and the settlement should be available through district channels consistent with Brown Act and personnel privacy requirements.
