Trustee Sara Rivera-Cronk recused herself from the vote under board policy 0144.3.
Why it matters: Ratification of a union contract finalizes terms between the district and represented employees; a recusal by a trustee was recorded in the minutes and noted under board policy 0144.3. The transcript records the procedural vote and the recusal but does not include the contract’s terms or financial details.
Next steps: The administration and human-resources office will implement the ratified terms; the transcript does not specify an effective date for the contract.
