Board approves personnel actions, MOUs and appointments; clerk reports closed‑session outcomes

The Apple Valley Unified School District clerk reported a number of formal actions taken in closed session and the board approved multiple consent‑agenda items in open session.

Closed‑session outcomes read into the record included appointment of Don Bowman as a K–8 principal at Vanguard (motion and vote recorded), acceptance of a pay claim by Azure Hotel and Suites, denial of a claim by Caleb Amaya, and termination of a permanent certificated employee (employee number referenced in the transcript). The clerk also announced unanimous board approval of multiple memorandums of understanding with employee organizations including the Apple Valley Unified Teachers Association and California School Employees Association (CSEA), covering topics such as professional growth stipends, class size language, extracurricular positions and health and welfare caps.

Board members approved the consent agenda (items 1–36) in a single motion without further discussion. The board also approved staff recommendations to fund the transitional kindergarten classroom project using existing ELOP and developer fee funds and by issuing a COP not to exceed $10,000,000, with the understanding that any borrowing would return to the board for formal approval.

The clerk's reading and the board's votes were recorded as unanimous where stated (5–0). The meeting record indicated the items will be reflected in meeting minutes and follow-up reports as appropriate.
