Board reports closed‑session settlements, unpaid‑suspension notices and appoints McKinney‑Vento coordinator
Summary
The board publicly reported several closed‑session actions from April 27, including settlement agreements, notices of unpaid suspension and an appointment: Crystal Soriano was appointed coordinator for McKinney‑Vento at a listed monthly rate.
At the start of the open meeting the board’s vice president read a set of actions taken during closed session on April 27: approvals of settlement agreements for former employees, issuance of notices of immediate unpaid suspension and intent to dismiss for certain certificated employees pursuant to Education Code sections 44932, 44934 and 44939, and the appointment of Crystal Soriano as coordinator for McKinney‑Vento.
Vice President Langenwalter read the packet language aloud, including vote tallies: a settlement agreement was approved by a 5‑to‑1 vote for one former employee; Crystal Soriano’s appointment was made by unanimous vote (6‑0) with an indicated monthly rate of $8,287, excluding longevity, and the effective date to be determined.
Why it matters: The board’s public readout is required to report certain closed‑session personnel and legal actions; the McKinney‑Vento coordinator role handles services for students experiencing homelessness, a designated federally recognized responsibility under the McKinney‑Vento Act.
What’s next: The district will execute the appointment and send required notices for personnel actions; details on disciplinary matters were cited by employee ID numbers and Education Code sections but not discussed publicly beyond the readout.
