The motion to rescind the earlier provisions and adopt the new policy passed 5-0 after brief amendments to change the term \"*** segregated facilities\" to \"shared facilities.\"

Board members said the new policy creates a uniform, administrable process for parents and students to request privacy accommodations for locker rooms and other shared facilities while the district works with legal counsel to refine forms and procedures. District counsel and administrators told the board the changes were designed to comply with state law and Department of Education guidance while offering concrete, site-level steps to accommodate individual students.

The vote followed several hours of debate, public comment and an extended period of board discussion. Trustees and the district attorney described the policy as an interim, legally reviewed approach intended to provide protections for students’ privacy without restricting students’ statutory rights to use facilities consistent with gender identity. The board instructed staff to convert the adopted privacy request exhibit into a district Google form and to return with any further edits at a future meeting.

Trustees said the adopted policy standardizes how privacy requests are documented and handled. During deliberations, attorney Tony DeMarco told the board the policy and the administrative regulation are written for uniform application to avoid singling out any student group and to align with California guidance on student privacy. Some trustees described the final language as a compromise they could defend legally while the broader national and state legal landscape develops.

Public comment before the vote included students and parents urging protections for girls’ privacy in locker rooms and other speakers calling for protections and non-stigmatizing options for transgender and gender-nonconforming students. Several middle school students described how current locker-room processes reduced their changing time and asked the board to adopt solutions that do not require medical or religious labels. District staff explained that a range of existing opt-outs and accommodations are already in place and that the new form is intended to centralize and clarify those options for families.

The board simultaneously directed counsel to review additional materials submitted by trustees and community members and asked for the revised forms to be returned for final review. Trustees agreed the adopted policy is a working document: they will continue refining the administrative regulation and the associated privacy request form, and requested staff produce a public notice clarifying that prior draft forms were not district-mandated policies.

The board also asked staff to include a clear complaint pathway if parents or students believe district procedures were not followed. The district said the privacy request form and related guidance will be made available online and that staff will consult with site administrators and PE teachers as the district implements the policy.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","SEP-09-2025 6:00 PM ◇ Regular Meeting ◇ Open Session ◇ TVUSD Governing Board","oneSentenceSummary","The Temecula Valley Unified School District board unanimously voted to replace earlier mental-health and religious-accommodation language with a new student privacy policy and administrative regulation governing privacy requests for shared facilities, and directed staff and counsel to refine the form and return with edits.","taxTitle","Temecula Valley Unified, School Districts, California","taxId",14501,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6128062,"Board approves routine fiscal and governance items; reports closed-session appointments",0,2867000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5752583-04579c7a47e1923eb0c62365610ae3a8&start=2867&end=2867","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5752583-04579c7a47e1923eb0c62365610ae3a8/thumbnail_2867000.jpg","/articles/6128062/California/Board-approves-routine-fiscal-and-governance-items-reports-closed-session-appointments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6128062-9d8a931398a148835e97d9af99754147/orig.mp4?Expires=1770486158&Signature=GGYf9bI-FQKg1OeWzajbMQ2YdKemwlO~k-9PEVptSuL1QOYC-cLXITM5iserPnkhxFFGgrUGlXDJJrStYtX0Ao1TrKyADYCviyV350MX8FTH23-yymmXdXqHvygTMSvRnygwXh2IYkv8dzG9JEcu0AduKyY2n33PE5wEY7rlPR4i-5y38Ut7uXu1xtRFWO2bJTPW4dzJDkMgyWGwYrHw0ioh2r-C9Ua-iB-hW8E4Yyz3fZohq~NVF1aU8u~K8IpZmkb0fioc6qIiTiG9JMSqZrlt3fbWPVt-BcXVQ1GP8zothc4Hpp4LCKeUDuB1BLmSGs-c5ODezhxcz-mHq6n7Nw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Temecula Valley Unified board approved several routine resolutions and financial reports during its Sept. 9 meeting and reported actions taken in closed session. Key adopted items included scheduling a public hearing on sufficiency of instructional materials and adopting resolutions for wire transfer payments and the Gann limit; the board also approved the district’s unaudited actual financial report for 2024–25. Votes on these items were unanimous.

In closed session the board announced three formal actions: it denied a damages claim (LB, dated Aug. 8, 2025) by a vote of 4-1 with one recusal; it appointed Dr. Kimberly Velez as superintendent, with a term beginning Jan. 1, 2026, subject to contract negotiations (approved 5-0); and it appointed Nicole Dais as assistant superintendent of educational support services effective Jan. 1, 2026 (approved 5-0). Board staff read these actions into the public record as required by law after the closed session concluded.

Other fiscal items approved during the open meeting included adoption of the district Gann limit and acceptance of the unaudited actuals for the 2024–25 fiscal year. Trustees and staff briefly thanked finance staff for close alignment between projections and actuals. The student board member also gave an update thanking staff and community partners for site work this month.

Several consent-agenda minutes and routine items were pulled for discussion or correction, and the board approved the remaining consent items in a recorded roll call. The board adjourned the meeting at 11:09 p.m.","The board approved several routine resolutions and financial reports and, in closed session, appointed the next superintendent and assistant superintendent; trustees also denied a damages claim in closed session.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":79,"_43":90,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6128067,"Board declines to revive Riverside University Health System behavioral-health MOU; public urged caution",11472000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5752583-04579c7a47e1923eb0c62365610ae3a8&start=11472&end=11472","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5752583-04579c7a47e1923eb0c62365610ae3a8/thumbnail_11472000.jpg","/articles/6128067/California/Board-declines-to-revive-Riverside-University-Health-System-behavioral-health-MOU-public-urged-caution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6128067-05b871c3b6ace36037fe2d836119e25f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770486158&Signature=bdYlOa8FZUPWZt9eIpRJnv1EFLfJxSZF0Pl-4fZjvQWwIB7EmLfDf0U2EtPaZjkrFn9q7HlRpXUWqND0kK7WR2t8Hl~5~CUlsAwz4mDEjNHRGrcycRX0p6t~fY3EnEg3iTb64GmYLXiCmojC6sVmVOSWL3gnEKqN0rd5vOMzbe-Ila5kvOfi4TVQPbo43Qqd6oEsymLyQ0ST664uCW0Se9xjFcc89RFAvLYzfA80oymUrcJQa5GAOFbSo1zW3fznjJ-easC8pxwjcVdkXY0fRQV6SLCNu81fRiCaPZeDsd4RnedRg2IH9zUa36638Ph9Cyg2cmoNbb-vm97K8Vp4nQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Temecula Valley Unified trustees declined to reconsider bringing back a proposed memorandum of understanding with Riverside University Health System (RUHS) to provide behavioral-health services in district schools. Trustee Emil Barham moved to reconsider his earlier vote; the motion to reopen the item failed and the board did not adopt the MOU.

Public comment on the proposal ran broadly in both directions. Several speakers urged the board to approve the MOU, saying the county service would cost the district nothing and provide behavioral-health access to families who lack community resources. Other commenters opposed embedding behavioral health in schools, saying such services should remain the responsibility of families and community health providers and not be integrated into instruction settings.

Trustees and members of the public raised several practical concerns during discussion: whether parental consent would be required before any RUHS clinician met with a student; possible mission creep if behavioral-health contracts expanded beyond counseling into broader services; and whether RUHS had previously sought to site a county facility in Temecula. A district staff member and speakers representing parents said the MOU included parental consent safeguards and that any on-campus clinical involvement would be voluntary and coordinated with guardians.

After hearing nine public speakers on the topic, the board did not move the MOU forward. The procedural motion to reconsider the prior board vote failed, and the item remained off the action calendar for the current meeting.","Trustees rejected reconsideration of a prior vote on a proposed memorandum of understanding with Riverside University Health System for behavioral-health services; public commenters both urged adoption as a no-cost resource and warned against embedding health services in schools.","actionData","errors"]
