LA Unified reports expulsions, personnel actions and contract conversions after closed session
Summary
After recessing into closed session, the LA Unified board reported approval of multiple student expulsions and conditional enrollments, authorized dismissals and a principal demotion, approved conversion of senior management contracts, authorized a settlement in pending litigation, and approved non‑reelection of probationary certificated employees.
The Los Angeles Unified School District board recessed into closed session on Feb. 11 and, upon returning at 3:20 p.m., publicly reported several formal actions.
Student discipline: The board approved expulsions for students in case numbers 31 and 32 with the recommended dispositions by a 6–1 vote; it approved the expulsion in case number 33 by a unanimous 7–0 vote. The board also approved conditional enrollment for students in case numbers 15 and 16 by a unanimous vote.
Personnel actions: Under the personnel tab, the board authorized the dismissal of three classified employees, the dismissal of two certificated employees, and the demotion of one principal; those actions passed on a 7–0 vote. The board also authorized the non‑reelection of 31 probationary certificated employees (reported as "non‑reelection of 31 probationary 2 certificated employees" in the transcript) by a unanimous vote.
Contract and negotiations items: The board authorized conversion of specified senior management contracts to regular senior management positions, listing classified titles (deputy director of facilities program support services; deputy director of facilities project execution; associate general counsel 2; deputy chief information security officer; deputy director of facilities planning and development; deputy director of facilities project execution) and certificated titles (executive director student integration services; executive director federal and state education programs; executive director adult and career education; executive director special education; executive director multilingual and multicultural education; executive director secondary education; senior director, school culture, climate and safety).
Legal settlement: The board authorized a settlement in the case of "Jane McBo at all va" (transcript wording). The board noted that terms and conditions would be available upon finalization of the agreement.
Votes: The transcript records vote tallies for each announced action (where provided) but does not associate individual board members’ votes with names in the public report. Reported tallies: expulsions (cases 31 & 32 — 6 yes, 1 no; case 33 — 7 yes), personnel dismissals and conversions (7 yes), conditional enrollments (7 yes), settlement authorization (7 yes), and non‑reelection (7 yes).
Why it matters: The personnel and discipline actions affect staffing and student status across the district and may have legal, budgetary and operational implications. The settlement authorization will be followed by public disclosure of its terms once finalized.
What happens next: The board announced the actions at the Feb. 11 meeting; additional documentation (settlement terms, specific personnel notices, or formal minutes) would be required to confirm details such as names, effective dates and legal considerations.
