ABC Unified board moves March meeting, holds closed session on personnel and labor negotiations
Summary
At a March 3, 2026 special meeting, the ABC Unified board approved changing its March regular meeting from March 17 to March 10 to allow earlier review of closed-session matters, then met in closed session on public-employee discipline and labor-negotiation updates; votes were unanimous.
The ABC Unified board on March 3 approved moving its March regular meeting from Tuesday, March 17, 2026, to Tuesday, March 10, 2026, and entered closed session to discuss personnel matters and updates in labor negotiations.
Vice President Miyakeyama Bui told the board the schedule change was made so the board could receive information sooner on issues that would be addressed in closed session. "In our last meeting with the board, there was discussion around needing to get information sooner ... And so we made the decision to move to a special session and move the meeting up a week to accommodate that," Miyakeyama Bui said.
The motion to revise the 2026 board meeting calendar — changing the March meeting date to March 10 — was moved and seconded during the special meeting and passed by voice vote, 7-0.
The board then moved into closed session. Chair reported the closed-session agenda covered "public employee discipline, dismissal, release and evaluation" under Government Code section 54957 and a "conference with labor negotiator" with updates on negotiations involving ABCFT, AFSCME and CSCA under Government Code section 54957.6. The chair said no additional specifics were disclosed in open session.
There were no public comments recorded before the board entered closed session. After the closed session the board returned to open session, confirmed actions by voice vote (recorded as 7-0), and adjourned at 08:43. Selma Mendoza seconded the motion to adjourn.
The meeting record shows routine procedural votes (agenda approval and the calendar revision) carried unanimously. The closed-session report out identified the statutory bases used to justify confidentiality but did not identify personnel or negotiation details in open session.
