Board approves settlement, readmission and routine fiscal items; votes at a glance
Summary
At its Jan. 12 meeting the Martinez Unified Board approved a confidential special-education settlement and a student readmission in closed session, accepted the 2024 annual financial audit, adopted the developer-fee report (Res. 2026-08) and approved several contracts and a facilities purchase.
The Martinez Unified School District Board on Jan. 12 reported two close-session actions and approved several routine fiscal and facilities items in open session.
Close-session report-outs: The board reported a 5–0 vote to approve a confidential settlement resolving a special-education dispute (recorded motion by Logan Campbell, second by Annie Horic Martin) and a 5–0 vote to approve readmission for student number 2024–25-10 (motion by Logan Campbell; second by Corton Masala O'Brien). The board described the settlement as resolving educationally related costs and attorney fees in exchange for waivers and releases of claims.
Open-session approvals and motions: Trustees approved the consent calendar (with two items pulled for discussion), then approved the K12 Tutoring contract (supports a dual-enrollment Spanish 3 course at Alhamra High funded by CCAP) and a Cloud Electric contract for lighting upgrades (funded through bond/Measure funds where applicable). The board later accepted the district’s independent 2024 financial audit (clean audit; one prior-year finding noted on prior bond-fund transfers) and approved the annual developer-fee report and Resolution 2026-08. Trustees also approved replacement cafeteria tables and benches at Morela Park Elementary to be paid from remaining Measure R funds.
Where recorded, votes were unanimous (board recorded 'I' for all in favor). Movers and seconders for close-session items were identified in the report-out; formal motion language and vote tallies for open items were recorded in the meeting minutes.
