Board approves readmission, grants and personnel actions; adopts revised technology job description and appoints Victor Vargas
Summary
The Beaumont Unified board approved a student readmission action, denied a closed-session appeal, carried consent-agenda agreements and grants (including a CDE amendment for $476), approved a revised Director of Technology job description as amended, and appointed Victor Vargas as program specialist.
The Beaumont Unified School District board approved a range of routine and personnel items during the meeting, including student-discipline recommendations, grant amendments and personnel assignments.
On agenda item 8.1 the board approved the recommended action on a readmission request for an expelled pupil. In a later report out of closed session the board said the appeal of employee number 34384 was denied; the report stated the motion was moved by Dr. Sylvester and seconded by David Sanchez and that the vote was unanimous with one member absent (Melissa Williamson).
The board approved the consent agenda and several agreements: a facilities-use agreement with Riverside County to provide independent-study support at Harmony Haven and a California Department of Education (CDE) grant amendment for an additional $476 for the 2024–25 fiscal year. A related agreement with the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services to provide an independent-study program at Harmony Haven was also approved.
During discussion of agenda item 14.1, board members queried whether to retain specific language about "lead[ing] a team of technicians and network coordinators" in the Director of Technology job description; after discussion of where such duties appear in the document, the board approved the revised job description as amended. The board also approved certificated, classified and administrative personnel assignment orders and welcomed Victor Vargas as program specialist.
The board adopted routine fiscal resolutions and awarded construction bids including work on Starlight Elementary School library overhang to address water intrusion. The board also approved a resolution giving final notice of intent to withdraw employee groups from the regional employer-employee benefits pool effective July 1, 2025.
Where motions specified movers and seconders in the record, the transcripts show names: on the readmission item the motion was moved by David (recorded as "David moved") and seconded by Susie (recorded as "Susie second"). Other motions were moved, seconded and called for vote and were recorded as carrying in the record.
