Summary
At its April 22 meeting the Redondo Beach Unified School District board reported it had supported the appointment of Eileen Lechenby to the new Director 2 position in Educational Services following closed‑session consideration; board members detailed her 18‑year district career and qualifications.
The Redondo Beach Unified School District Board of Education announced April 22 that it supported the appointment of Eileen Lechenby to the newly created Director 2 position in the Educational Services Department.
The board reported the decision during its closed‑session report. The board’s statement said Lechenby has worked in RBUSD for 18 years, beginning as a teacher at Adams Middle School in 2007. Board members noted she later served as an Educational Services TOSA in 2019, educational services coordinator in 2022, and was promoted to principal of Bernie Elementary that same year, where she has led the school for three years.
Board members described Lechenby’s academic credentials as including a bachelor’s degree from Ohio State University and a master’s degree in educational administration from California State University, Northridge. The board said the appointment completes a planned restructuring of Educational Services under Dr. Garland and that the position is funded through designated categorical funds.
Following the announcement the board applauded Lechenby; the meeting record includes only the board’s announcement and members’ descriptions of her background. The appointment was presented as a personnel action taken after closed‑session direction to staff; the board did not provide further details about appointment terms, start date, or contract language during the open meeting.
The board moved on to other business after the announcement. Any further administrative details about the appointment are handled by district staff and were not discussed in open session on April 22.
