The San Ramon Valley Unified School District Board of Education moved into closed session after approving a motion to accept a closed-session agenda that listed personnel and legal items.
Board member Susanna Ordway (Area 4) announced the items the board would consider behind closed doors, saying the agenda included "a public employee appointment under Government Code section 54957 for assistant principals at Winnameir Ranch Middle School and Charlotte Wood Middle School; rejection of claim number 673566; and a public employee performance evaluation of the superintendent under Government Code section 54957." The transcript spells one campus name as "Winnameir Ranch Middle School"; that spelling is reproduced from the agenda text.
After Ordway read the agenda, a board member moved to accept the closed-session agenda and another board member seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote and then adjourned to closed session. The motion and vote to adjourn were procedural; no open-session discussion or decision about the merits of the personnel appointments, the claim, or the superintendent evaluation was recorded before the board left open session.
The meeting began with a livestream notice that the session was being video recorded on the district's YouTube channel, and five board members announced their presence: Shelley Clark (Area 2), Laura Brat (Area 3), Rachel Herd (Area 5), Jesse Vanzy (Area 1) and Susanna Ordway (Area 4). The board did not take any substantive open-session action on the personnel or claim items before adjourning.
The board's closed-session agenda cites Government Code section 54957 for personnel matters and performance evaluation, and identifies a claim by number (673566); no additional details about the claim, appointment candidates or the superintendent evaluation were provided in open session. Further action or any formal outcomes from the closed session were not recorded in the provided transcript.
