Laguna Beach school board rejects motion to remove LCAP job-description item from agenda
Summary
At a Laguna Beach Unified School District board meeting, a committee member moved to remove Agenda Item 11 (a job description tied to the LCAP) saying the position had not been budgeted; the motion failed and the board adopted the agenda amid a recorded tally discrepancy before adjourning to closed session.
The Laguna Beach Unified School District school board debated removing an agenda item tied to the district’s LCAP after a committee member said the position described had not been approved as a budgeted post.
The committee member (identified in the transcript as Victoria) said portions of the LCAP “had been added but had never been approved as budget items,” citing transportation costs for a bus monitor and VAPA (arts) items and moved to remove Agenda Item 11 — a job description — “until the position’s been approved.”
The board’s presiding officer replied that the job-description item appears after the LCAP and budget approval in the agenda order and put the motion to remove the item to a vote. The motion failed after no second was recorded and the chair announced the motion had failed.
The board then voted to adopt the meeting agenda. The transcript record shows a discrepancy in the announced tally — the chair first said “Agenda approves 50,” then corrected to “41, sorry” and asked that the record be corrected; the official vote tally was not clearly recorded in the transcript.
There were no public comment cards for closed session. The board moved to adjourn into closed session; the chair announced the motion carried 5-0.
What happened next: the board proceeded into closed session; the transcript ends after the adjournment motion.
