Board narrowly approves 10 additional superintendent work days amid split vote
Summary
Trustees approved a 10-day extension to Superintendent Angelita Ortiz's 2024–25 contract so she can complete end-of-year reporting and summer school oversight. The measure passed 3–2; trustees raised concerns about timing and scope.
The Calipatria Unified Board approved a motion on May 12 to extend Superintendent Angelita V. Ortiz’s contract by 10 additional work days for the 2024–25 school year. The approval passed on a 3–2 roll call: Trustees Patty Dockstader, Michael Fong and Frank Perez voted yes; Trustees Raul Navarro and Diego Navarro voted no; Trustees Brittany Saiza and Holly Widmann were absent. The motion to approve was moved by Trustee Dockstader and seconded by Trustee Perez.
Mrs. Ortiz told the board she was "done with her contract but still needs to be available in the office for end of the year reports and summer school." Trustees opposing the extension questioned the necessity and timing; the transcript records the vote outcome and that a directive was given to the superintendent after reconvening from closed session. The item was presented as an action from open session and the board documented the vote in the meeting minutes.
