On Sept. 18, 2025, the Board of Trustees voted in closed session to adopt an Administrative Law Judge(ALJ) decision dated Sept. 11, 2025, upholding the dismissal of employee ID 161,507 from a paraprofessional position. President Dr. Hazen reported the action at the conclusion of the closed session and said the board voted 5-0. "The board of trustees in closed session held on 09/18/2025 voted to adopt the 09/11/2025 ALJ decision upholding the dismissal of employee ID 161,507," President Dr. Hazen said. The board directed that the classified employee be notified of the decision. The closed session also included a confidential student update; the report back stated that information was received. The board listed the closed-session items at the start of the meeting under Government Code sections including 3549.1 (collective bargaining items) and 54957 (public employee discipline, dismissal, release). No other formal motions or votes related to personnel were reported out at the meeting. The action adopted in closed session was recorded only as an internal closed-session decision and the board limited public comment prior to adjourning into closed session. Because the action was taken in closed session, the board did not provide further details about the underlying charges or the ALJrecord during open session. The board did report the outcome and the next step of notifying the classified employee. Background and next steps: the board noted the ALJ decision date (Sept. 11, 2025) and the boardmeeting date (Sept. 18, 2025). The boardreport stated that the classified employee would be notified that the ALJ decision would be adopted as the boarddecision.
