Summary

Trustees accepted a resignation, approved three licensed hires including a special-education teacher and a returning shop instructor, and approved two extra-duty assistant football coach contracts — James Powell and George Estrada.

The board accepted the resignation of Mark Martinez and approved three licensed hires and extra-duty coaching contracts during its action items section.

A board member made a motion "I move to approve Mr. Martinez's resignation as presented," which was seconded and approved by voice vote. Trustees then approved hiring three candidates: a special-education teacher referred to as "Junior" for Give Elementary, Kayla Gibson (maiden name Rodiguero) as a teacher mentor and instructional coach, and Emily Holden returning to teach shop. The board also approved extra-duty football contracts, recommending James Powell (previous volunteer) and George Estrada (one-year fill-in contract).

Board members praised the candidates’ engagement and experience; no individual vote tallies were recorded in the transcript beyond voice approvals. The personnel actions were taken as presented and carried by voice vote.
