Votes at a glance: Stockton Unified board approves routine contracts, personnel and program actions

The Stockton Unified Board of Trustees approved a series of consent, contract and personnel items during the May 13 meeting, most by unanimous roll call.

Among the actions recorded in open session: approval of overnight field trip travel for 15 Edison High School baseball players to an Oregon tournament; consultant agreements (including FACTS Education Solutions for equitable services to participating private schools); purchase and service contracts for community‑school and special‑education vendors; and the district's instructional continuity plan (ICP) as part of the Comprehensive School Safety Plan. Several personnel agreements and MOUs were also ratified, including a tentative agreement with the Stockton Unified Supervisory Unit and an extension of select provisions of the July 2025 MOU with the Stockton Teachers Association.

Most of the listed vendor and consultant contracts — including youth cinema project agreements at multiple sites and special‑education contracts — passed on recorded roll calls with unanimous “yes” votes. One item recorded earlier in closed session (resolution 25‑79: release/non‑reelection of certificated probationary employees) was approved 6–1 in closed session with a no vote from Trustee Priest; other personnel actions and disciplinary review items were handled in closed session with results announced after recess.

There were two notable non‑unanimous outcomes in open session: a motion on student expulsion C‑25 failed (vote recorded as 4 to 3 with vice president Priest, Clerk Martin, Trustee Perez and Trustee Silva voting no), and a separate student expulsion (C‑26) was approved unanimously. The board also approved an amended employment agreement for the associate superintendent of business and operations and adopted a resolution proclaiming May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

Roll‑call records in the transcript were used to compile tallies listed below; where the transcript records a vote as unanimous, votes were recorded as 7–0. If an item referenced specific mover/second information in the spoken record, those names are included.
