Ventura Unified board approves personnel resolutions and lists certificated reassignments
Summary
The board announced closed-session reassignments of certificated administrators and voted unanimously to approve multiple HR resolutions (non-reelection of probationary certificated employees, reduction/discontinuance of particular certificated services, and release of temporary certificated employees).
The Ventura Unified School District Board of Trustees announced personnel actions taken in closed session and approved several Human Resources resolutions covering certificated staffing.
After returning from closed session trustees publicly reported that the governing board had issued notices releasing and reassigning several certificated administrators and that staff was directed to send required legal notices. President Calvin Peterson read employee reference numbers and said the action was taken pursuant to Education Code 44951; the board recorded a roll-call vote of five yes, zero no.
During the open session Human Resources presented three formal resolutions that the trustees then approved unanimously:
- Resolution 25-5 concerning non-reelection of probationary certificated employees (motion carried 5-0). - Resolution 256 to reduce or discontinue particular certificated services (9.6 FTE tied to parcel tax and Proposition 28 funding was discussed) (motion carried 5-0). - Resolution 257 regarding release of temporary certificated employees (routine annual action to avoid overstaffing when employees return from leave) (motion carried 5-0).
Trustees asked staff clarifying questions about which positions were funded by one-time sources (parcel tax, Prop 28) and how site-based Prop 28 plans and waivers would be handled if funding is restored. Staff explained that some positions reinstated in future years could be funded by Prop 28 site plans but cautioned that funding rules (80/20 staffing-to-materials rule and possible waiver requests) and statutory notification deadlines limit immediate options.
Votes and formal outcomes: all listed resolutions and motions in the HR block passed unanimously (5-0). Several trustees said they wanted greater site-level detail before further action and the board added a conference-item follow-up to review classified reductions and site impacts.
