San Bernardino City Unified board approves personnel actions, expulsions and contract amendments
Summary
At its Jan. 6 meeting the San Bernardino City Unified School District board approved a personnel report, adopted expulsions recommended by a hearing panel under Ed. Code §48900, and amended contracts for several assistant superintendents. Staff will provide follow-up on facility and hiring questions raised by trustees.
The San Bernardino City Unified School District Board of Education on Jan. 6 approved a package of personnel and disciplinary actions, including adoption of hearing-panel recommendations to expel specified students and amendments to assistant superintendent contracts.
The board returned from closed session and reported action on file number 12-324 before voting to "accept and adopt the recommendation and findings of [the] hearing panel" and to order expulsions in accordance with Education Code section 48900. The motion carried. The board also authorized related petitions for expungement or youth-court modification where recommended.
In open session trustees approved personnel report number 12 (dated Jan. 6, 2026) and cast the district's ballot for county school board association incumbents. The board unanimously approved amendments to employment contracts for the assistant superintendent, educational services; assistant superintendent, student services; and associate superintendent, business, facilities and operations. There was no substantive debate on the contract amendments during the meeting.
The board also approved required revisions to Policy 5131.2 on bullying after staff said the redlined changes were mandated by the California Department of Education to clear federal program monitoring findings.
The meeting record shows motions were made and seconded for each item and that each vote "carried." The clerk recorded the formal motions and outcomes in the meeting minutes; the board asked staff to provide additional written updates on some facility items (see separate item on drinking-fountain replacements).
What’s next: the district will follow up on the plumbing and fixture scope for drinking-fountain replacements after trustees asked staff to clarify which sites are included and whether piping work is planned. The board’s personnel actions and expulsions are effective as recorded in the meeting minutes and in accordance with board rules and state law.
