The Paramount Unified School District board approved a broad consent calendar and a series of action items on April 9, 2025, recording unanimous votes on routine business and several superintendent resolutions.
The board approved the consent calendar (items 9.2–9.45) by a single motion, then approved a set of superintendent resolutions recognizing observances and awareness months, including Resolution 24‑56 (Autism Awareness Month), Resolution 24‑57 (Asian Pacific American Heritage Month), Resolution 24‑58 (Jewish American Heritage Month), Resolution 24‑59 (Mental Health Awareness Month), Resolution 24‑60 (School Lunch Hero Day), Resolution 24‑61 (California Day of the Teacher) and Resolution 24‑62 (Classified School Employees Week). Each resolution was moved and seconded and recorded as passing with student board members Hammonds and Pledo noted as voting "Yes."
On personnel and labor items, the board opened and closed public hearings on tentative agreements and approved the negotiated tentative agreement between Paramount Unified and the Teachers Association of Paramount regarding 2024–25 salary enhancements and health and welfare benefits. The board also approved salary increases and health and welfare benefits for certificated, classified management and confidential employees for 2024–25, according to the public record.
Administrative approvals included establishing new job authorizations for a network analyst and systems applications analyst, revising a reprographics technician job description and approving increases in work months for board‑certified behavior analysts and occupational therapists. The board also approved stipulated expulsion agreements for specific students under Ed. Code §35146 and §48918; motions were read, seconded and passed as recorded.
All votes reported in the minutes were recorded as unanimous 5–0, with student board members registering "Yes." The transcript shows motion-makers and seconders for many items most frequently cited as Martinez and Cruz.
Next steps: listed administrative items will be implemented per staff instructions (HR onboarding, posting of job descriptions, and contract execution for negotiated agreements). Specific budget implications and dollar amounts were referenced in the board packet (not in the oral transcript) and will be reflected in formal budget documents.
