After returning from closed session with no reportable action, the El Monte City School District board approved a series of consent and action items, including purchase orders, routine resolutions and personnel actions.
The board approved the 04/20/2026 meeting minutes and then moved the action and consent agenda. Business services noted 425 purchase orders totaling about $1.3 million for the prior month; the board approved that report with one abstention recorded on the purchase order vote.
Resolutions approved included Resolution 25‑26 No. 39 (delinquent tax receivables assignment, a routine joint powers authority participation) and Resolution 25‑26 No. 42 (reduction of one child development permit position to permit 60‑day notice). The board also approved Resolution 25‑26 No. 41 (non‑reemployment of classified employees) and a related memorandum of understanding that allows affected employees to shift hours or apply to openings; board discussion described the MOU as a process to mitigate layoffs.
The board approved its annual declaration of need for fully qualified educators (a precautionary administrative filing to the California Department of Education) and certificated personnel matters (with a recorded abstention). The board approved the recommendation to appoint Corina Orio as Director of Nutrition Services; Orio addressed the board and said she was “super excited to be back” to the district.
