Stony Creek Joint Unified board begins superintendent evaluation during closed session
Summary
At a Sept. 5 special meeting at Elk Creek High School, the Stony Creek Joint Unified Board convened in closed session under Gov. Code 54957 and "took the first step in the evaluation process" for the superintendent; the board also directed legal counsel on a personnel complaint.
The Stony Creek Joint Unified School District Board of Education met in special session on Sept. 5, 2024, at Elk Creek High School and moved into closed session at 2:35 p.m. under Gov. Code 54957, which governs public employee performance evaluations and certain personnel matters. The board reported it "took the first step in the evaluation process for the Superintendent," indicating initiation of a formal evaluation procedure rather than a final personnel action.
The board reconvened to open session at 5:26 p.m. A quorum was present: Meagan Groteguth, Ritta Martin and Krystal Craven; board member Delana Martin was absent. The minutes state the board also "gave direction to legal counsel regarding the handling of the complaint," reflecting that the board provided instruction for counsel and staff follow-up rather than announcing a disciplinary outcome. The meeting was adjourned at 5:28 p.m., and the minutes were submitted by Superintendent/Principal Emily Pendell, secretary to the governing board.
The closed-session items were explicitly recorded under Gov. Code 54957. The transcript of the minutes does not record any public comment on those closed-session items, nor does it record a formal vote or a final determination resulting from the closed session. The board's report indicates further personnel and legal steps are pending, but the minutes do not specify next dates or deadlines for the evaluation or for any legal action.
