The Mountain View–Los Altos Union High School District Board of Trustees disclosed on Oct. 27 that, during closed session, it unanimously (5–0) approved a multiyear compromise agreement with the parents of a student to resolve potential and threatened legal claims.

In open session the board said the agreement provides funding for private services and an alternate educational program for the student during the 2025–26 and 2026–27 school years, in an amount not to exceed $27,000. The board did not provide additional details about the services, citing student privacy matters and because the resolution was reached in closed session.

The announcement was made at the start of open session as the board clerk read the closed‑session action onto the public record. The board also reminded the audience that open session would be audio‑taped and streamed.
