Outgoing trustees McMahon and Weiss publicly disclose Viloria separation terms
Outgoing trustees Kate McMahon and George Weiss published a letter to the editor in the Laguna Beach Independent that was the first public disclosure of specific terms of the November 21, 2024 separation agreement with Superintendent Viloria. The letter — published roughly three months after Viloria's December 31, 2024 departure — characterized the separation agreement as "(at his request)," reported a package valued at $373,142.16 plus benefits, and stated that the agreement "allowed him continued access to district staff, business information and financial authority after vacating his office." McMahon and Weiss had both been members of the 5–0 outgoing board that approved the separation; the letter is their attributed account of the package specifics, not an independently audited disclosure.

His sudden, surprise separation agreement (at his request) included a package worth $373,142.16, plus benefits. Strangely, it also allowed him continued access to district staff, business information and financial authority after vacating his office.
