The Mount Diablo Unified School District Board met April 15, 2026, and moved into closed session to consider labor negotiations, personnel discipline and several pending legal cases and student-expulsion matters.
During roll call the board recorded the presence of Trustees McDougall, Lawrence, Mayo, Zaehring and Mason. The board announced there was no public comment for the meeting.
The publicly read closed-session agenda said the board would discuss negotiations with represented employees under a cited government code section and "possible discipline, dismissal, release, or reassignment of a public employee" under a cited government code. The agenda also listed three existing litigation matters: "Goska versus Mount Diablo Unified School District," California Department of Industrial Relations case number WCCM1006639; "Ryan versus Mount Diablo Unified School District," California Department of Industrial Relations case number WCCM1014166; and a matter transcribed as "bankrupt dual immersion family association versus Mount Diablo Unified School District," Contra Costa County Superior Court case number N26-0580.
The agenda further listed anticipated litigation (identified by a government code citation) and three student-discipline items: possible expulsion of student number 12-26 from River Grove Schools, a stipulated expulsion agreement for student 13-26, and a request for a second continuance for student number 14-26. The board then recessed the public meeting and entered closed session to consider the listed items.
No votes or formal actions were recorded in the portions of the meeting available in the public transcript; the board indicated only that it was moving into closed session.
