Board denies one interdistrict appeal and approves another in closed session; actions reported in open session
Summary
Following closed-session review, the Board denied Interdistrict Attendance Appeal IAA‑26‑8 and approved IAA‑26‑9 through 12th grade. The actions were reported in open session on May 21 with recorded roll‑call tallies.
The San Mateo County Board of Education reported outcomes from two interdistrict attendance appeals after closed‑session deliberations on May 21. Board President Hugo Torres reconvened the meeting in open session at 3:51 p.m. and reported that IAA‑26‑8 — a request by a student residing in the Fremont Unified School District to attend school in the Sequoia Union High School District — was denied. The motion to deny (mover: Mike O’Neill; second: Susan Alvaro) passed by roll call with five in favor of denial (Alvaro, Bonini, O’Neill, Love, Torres), one opposed (Gerard) and one absent (Arias).
Torres also reported that IAA‑26‑9 — a request by a student residing in the San Mateo Union High School District to attend school in the Sequoia Union High School District — was approved through 12th grade. That motion (mover: Patricia Love; second: Beverly Gerard) carried by a vote of six in favor (Alvaro, Bonini, Gerard, O’Neill, Love, Torres) and one absent (Arias). The decisions were taken in closed session as permitted for interdistrict attendance appeals and were announced in open session; the minutes do not include additional factual findings about the students' circumstances.
