Board upholds termination and appoints new elementary principal at Glendora Unified meeting

The Glendora Unified School District board announced two reportable actions after reconvening from closed session Aug. 25: it upheld the district’s recommendation to terminate an employee recorded as ID 32009, and it appointed Aaron Fish to serve as principal of Southernland Elementary School, effective Sept. 2, 2025.

Board members reported that the termination matter was reviewed in closed session, documentation was considered, and a motion (moved and seconded) carried on a vote of five to uphold the district recommendation. The transcript identifies the employee only as ID 32009; no further personnel details were disclosed at the meeting.

The board also announced the appointment of Aaron Fish as the next principal of Southernland Elementary School. The appointment, moved by Garcia and seconded by Munoz, was recorded as passing with five yeses. The board stated the appointment will be effective Sept. 2, 2025, and that Fish will be placed on step five of the certificated management salary schedule.

These announcements were made at the start of the public session after the board reconvened at 6:09 p.m.; personnel matters discussed in closed session were summarized in the public record per the Brown Act reporting requirements. The board did not take further public action on personnel at the meeting and moved on to regular agenda items.
