Summary

The board approved minutes, the consent calendar, and personnel actions (one opposed on a coaching/office‑manager appointment), adopted election resolutions for the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot including tie resolution by lot, and approved proclamations for classified employees and Day of the Teacher.

At the April meeting, Duarte Unified trustees handled a set of routine governance items, voting to approve minutes, the consent calendar and several resolutions and proclamations.

Key votes and actions:

- Adoption of the amended agenda to include a late proclamation item (motion by Ms. Holguin; second Dr. Finley). The motion passed.

- Approval of the consent calendar and minutes for the March meetings, including the classified personnel report. The personnel report (item 13.24) drew discussion when a trustee questioned how Nita Thompson could serve as both office manager and hold multiple coaching assignments; administration said scheduling adjustments and substitutes cover conflicts. The personnel report was approved with one opposed vote recorded.

- Election and candidate procedures: The board passed Resolution 20‑25‑26 to order the biennial governing board election for Nov. 3, 2026, approved candidate statement procedures, and established that potential tie votes in the November election will be resolved by casting lots (the board voted in favor of deciding ties by lot rather than a special election).

- Proclamations: Trustees approved proclamations declaring May staff recognition events, including a proclamation for the Day of the Teacher and Classified School Employee Week.

The board also received a construction and modernization update and approved the district and bond audits for FY 2024–25 (reported separately). The meeting closed after member remarks and memorial adjournments.
