Calipatria Unified trustees sworn in; board elects officers for 2025
Summary
At its Dec. 16 meeting the Calipatria Unified School District Board administered oaths to newly elected trustees and unanimously elected board officers, including appointments for clerk, secretary, and representative seats.
The Calipatria Unified School District Board of Trustees opened its Dec. 16 meeting with roll call and the administration of the oath of office to trustees elected in the November election. The minutes list the trustees sworn in as Diego Navarro, Brittany Saiza, Frank C. Perez and Holly J. Widmann.
The minutes include the full oath language: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California..." After the oath, the board conducted reorganizational business. Motions and roll-call votes were recorded for the election of the Board President and Clerk; appointments were unanimous. The board also appointed the Superintendent to serve as Board Secretary pursuant to Board Bylaw 9122 and selected representatives for the IVROP board and the District Student Attendance Review Board (SARB) panel.
Why this matters: Reorganization establishes who will set the board agenda and represent the district at regional bodies for the coming year. The minutes note statutory timing for terms (Education Code 5017) and record that the motions carried by roll call with all members voting in the affirmative.
The board entered routine business after the reorganizational votes, with minutes of the session filed and signed on Feb. 11, 2025.
