Board says it ratified resignation agreement with district employee in closed session
Summary
After a closed session, the Newark Unified School District board reported it ratified a $20,000 resignation agreement with employee Jose Canana; the action was announced on reconvening and was moved and seconded by board members, recorded as passing in closed session.
The Newark Unified School District board reconvened at 7:23 p.m. and announced it had ratified a resignation agreement between the district and employee Jose Canana for $20,000. President Jones reported the motion was made by Member Block, seconded by Member Hill, and "recorded as passing" in closed session.
The board did not provide additional details during open session about the terms of the agreement or the reasons for the employee’s departure, citing that the action occurred in closed session under personnel and labor codes. The president read the brief result when the meeting returned to public view.
The announcement was one of several personnel and contract items discussed in closed session; later in the meeting the board approved a range of personnel and consent items in open session. The board did not release further documentation about the resignation agreement at the meeting.
The next regular board meeting is scheduled for May 6, when the board said other contract items (including an afterschool contract) will return for public action.
