San Ramon Valley Unified board accepts closed-session agenda on labor negotiations

The San Ramon Valley Unified Board of Trustees voted 5-0 to accept a closed-session agenda item to discuss labor negotiations under Government Code section 54957.6, the presiding officer said.

Board member Jess Vanz moved to accept the closed-session agenda; board member Rachel Herd seconded the motion. In a roll-call vote, Trustees Rachel Herd, Jess Vanz, Susanna Wway, Shelley Clark and Laura Brett voted in favor; the presiding officer announced the motion passed unanimously.

The closed-session item was identified on the agenda as item 4.1, “conference with labor negotiators,” citing Government Code section 54957.6. The announcement named Melanie Jones as the district’s agency representative and referenced an employee organization described in the agenda text as “Seria CA and CIU.” The presiding officer asked whether there were any public comments on the closed-session item and stated there were none before seeking the motion.

After the vote, the presiding officer adjourned the meeting into closed session to discuss the labor-negotiation matter.

The meeting record does not state a date for the closed session, the detailed negotiating positions to be discussed, or any immediate public action beyond the board’s approval to meet in closed session.
