Vallejo City Unified board recesses into closed session over student discipline, anticipated litigation

President Glenn Amboy called the Vallejo City Unified School District Board of Education to order at 4:30 p.m. on May 13, 2026, and announced that Trustee Dean Hodges was attending remotely from Independence Hall at Camp Joseph T. Robinson in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

The clerk conducted roll call. Trustee Hodges and Trustee Fox were recorded as "Present," Trustee Young was recorded as absent, Vice President Flores was recorded as present, and the clerk declared a quorum.

The board opened the floor for public comment specifically on closed-session items; the meeting record shows there were no public comments. President Amboy then recessed the board into closed session at 4:31 p.m. "to discuss student discipline recommendations and anticipated litigation," according to the meeting record. The transcript does not include any motions, votes, or substantive details from the closed session.

Because the matters listed for closed session—student-discipline recommendations and anticipated litigation—are deliberations ordinarily held out of public view under state law, the board did not discuss specifics in the open record. The meeting record notes how the public could access the Google meeting link and view proceedings on the district's YouTube channel prior to the recess.

The board proceeded into closed session; the transcript ends the public record at the point of recess. No further public actions or outcomes are recorded in the provided transcript.
