§54957 "Superintendent of Schools" eval item appears mid-cycle on a regular-meeting agenda
The October 10, 2024 regular board meeting agenda included a closed-session item titled verbatim "Public Employee Performance Evaluation Government Code 54957 Title: Superintendent of Schools." Earlier in the same calendar year the board had completed the normal annual eval cadence in standalone specials — a July 17, 2024 "Special Board Meeting - Superintendent Evaluation" (closed item §54957 "Public Employee Evaluation — Superintendent") and an August 7, 2024 "Special Board Meeting: Superintendent Goals and Board Policies and Bylaws" (closed item §54957 "Goal Setting"). The intervening September 12 and September 26, 2024 regular agendas did not notice any §54957 superintendent item; the Oct 10 listing is the first mid-cycle reappearance on a regular business-meeting agenda. Board President Vickers stated "there was no report out of closed session." Viloria continued the meeting normally, including a Superintendent's Report noting that LBUSD had ranked first among unified districts in Orange County for ELA, math, and science on CAASPP scores released that day. The §54957 item recurred at the November 21, 2024 meeting in the renamed form "Public Employee Discipline/Dismissal/Release," at which the board voted 5-0 to terminate Viloria's contract.
