San Ramon Valley Unified board accepts closed‑session agenda as president is absent
Summary
With Board President Shelley Clark absent, Board Member Laura Brat presided as the San Ramon Valley Unified School District board voted to accept a closed‑session agenda that lists pending litigation (OAH case 202504961) and multiple personnel matters.
The San Ramon Valley Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously to accept a closed‑session agenda on procedural items, the board announced at the start of its meeting.
Acting presiding officer Laura Brat, who said she represents Area 3, opened the session and noted that President Shelley Clark could not attend. Board members introduced themselves for the record: Rachel Herd (Area 5), Jesse Vanzy (Area 1) and Susanna Ordway (Area 4). Brat said the meeting was being video recorded and livestreamed on the district’s YouTube channel.
Brat outlined three items the board planned to consider in closed session: a conference with legal counsel on pending litigation under Government Code section 54956.9, listed as OAH case number 202504961; public‑employee appointment matters under Government Code section 54957 for positions described as principal (alternative education), assistant principal (high school) and program supervisor; and public‑employee discipline/release/dismissal under Government Code section 54957 referencing employee numbers 14698 and 013021.
When asked, there were no members of the public who offered comment on the closed‑session agenda. A motion to accept the closed‑session agenda was made and seconded; the transcript records the motion as ‘‘made by board member Banzay’’ and seconded by Board Member Brat. Roll‑call votes were recorded as Brat: “I,” Herd: “I,” Vanzy: “I,” and Ordway: “I.” The motion was recorded in the transcript as passing “40,” which is interpreted as a 4–0 vote in favor.
The board then recessed to closed session to take up the listed litigation and personnel matters. No final decisions from that closed session were recorded in the public portion of the transcript.
