Board approves resolutions, labor agreements and personnel actions; appoints new labor relations director
Summary
On May 19 the San Bernardino City Unified board approved resolutions recognizing Pride Month and Juneteenth, adopted a tentative CSEA successor agreement and several procedural items, and appointed Naisha Williams as director of employee and labor relations following a vote after closed session.
The San Bernardino City Unified School District board took several formal actions during its May 19 meeting, adopting ceremonial resolutions and approving labor and personnel items.
Key votes and outcomes
- Pride Month resolution: The board adopted a resolution recognizing June 2026 as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month (motion moved by Mr. Tilman; voice vote carried).
- Juneteenth resolution: The board adopted a resolution recognizing June 19 as Juneteenth National Independence Day and designated the third Saturday in June as a day of observance (motion moved by Mr. Tilman; voice vote carried).
- Public hearings and labor actions: The board received the initial proposal from the San Bernardino School Police Officers Association and held the required public hearing. The board also held and then approved the tentative successor agreement between the district and the California School Employees Association (CSEA) chapter 183 and accepted the associated classified work calendars for 2026–27.
- Personnel and appointments: After closed session the board voted to appoint Naisha Williams as director of employee and labor relations (motion moved by Mr. Tilman, second by Dr. Wyatt; vote recorded as carried). The board approved the personnel report dated May 19, 2026, and several other administrative items including temporary borrowing between funds and closure of a school facilities project.
- Student discipline and readmission: The board accepted hearing panel findings and adopted recommendations for expulsions and readmissions in accordance with Education Code procedures; specifics were listed by student ID numbers in the board packet and were adopted by vote.
Why it matters: The votes finalize routine governance actions and labor arrangements that affect district operations and employee contracts; the appointment of a director of employee and labor relations fills an HR leadership post that staff said will support bargaining and compliance work.
Where to find records: The board approved these items by motion during the public meeting. Detailed documents, ratified agreements, and personnel listings are part of the district's official meeting packet and personnel report referenced on May 19.
