Summary
Following an executive session, the board adopted a notice of intent to terminate the employment of Joey Ortiz and authorized selection of a hearing officer; it also designated the superintendent and deputy superintendent to negotiate with the town of Litchfield Park about the Loma Hilltop property.
After reconvening from executive session, the Agua Fria Union High School District governing board took two formal actions in open session.
First, the board adopted a notice of intent to terminate and a statement of charges relating to the employment of Joey Ortiz, authorized dismissal of the employee, and authorized appointment of a hearing officer in the event of a timely appeal. The motion carried on roll call: Silk, yes; Nailer, yes; Colton, yes; Maness, yes; Acton, yes.
Second, the board designated Superintendent Easley and Deputy Superintendent Huffman as the district’s representatives to negotiate with the Town of Litchfield Park concerning the Loma Hilltop property; the motion was seconded and approved in open session.
The motions were recorded in public minutes; the board did not elaborate additional details about the charges or negotiation strategy during the open session motion. Pursuant to statute, the district will proceed under the process described in the motions and will appoint a hearing officer if an appeal is filed.
