Regular Board Meeting (Viloria termination + audit + LaBUFA CBA)

Summary

The November 21, 2024 regular board meeting opened at 5:00 PM. The closed session included three items: Public Employee Discipline/Dismissal/Release under §54957, existing litigation (Jan Doe v. LBUSD, David Brobeck), and labor negotiators under §54957.6. Member Perry joined closed session at 5:30 PM. Open session began at 6:00 PM with a §54957.1(b) written report-out: "In closed session, by a vote of 5 to 0, the Board took action to terminate the employment contract of District employee number 7000002410." The approved minutes additionally flag that Board President Vickers's verbal "We have no report out of closed session" statement "was not accurate to the extent it referred to the written report." Despite the termination vote, Viloria proceeded with his Superintendent's Report, thanking Vickers and Osborne for their leadership. The board also accepted the 2023-2024 Eide Bailly audit (5-0; "unmodified opinion on all levels," "no audit findings" per Page 96) and ratified the 2023-2026 LaBUFA CBA (5-0). Other action items: Arctic Wolf solutions agreement ($77,500), Energy Master Plan COP authorization (4-1, Perry no), Vidcruiter automated reference checking, first reading of BP 5131.8 (Mobile Communication Devices), and the establishment of December 16, 2024 as the date for the Annual Organizational Meeting. Outgoing Clerk Osborne delivered a farewell statement; Vickers thanked her. The meeting adjourned at 8:55 PM.

Key insights (6)

• §54957.1(b) WRITTEN report-out was filed despite Vickers's verbal "no report out" statement. The approved minutes include a secretary's note flagging the discrepancy — a procedural-correction practice the current site's §54957 controversy benchmarks against.
• The vote: 5-0 to terminate the employment contract of "District employee number 7000002410" (Viloria).
• Viloria continued the meeting after the termination vote — delivered his Superintendent's Report and explicitly thanked Vickers and Osborne for their leadership.
• Same meeting accepted the 2023-2024 Eide Bailly audit with "unmodified opinion on all levels" and "no audit findings" on Page 96. The H&W over-cap pattern later quantified by Bishop & Associates (Sept 2025) covered FY 2022-23 through 2025-26, including the 2023-24 year this routine audit "passed."
• Same meeting ratified the 2023-2026 LaBUFA CBA — the CBA whose H&W caps the Bishop audit later found were being exceeded.
• Closed-session item title evolved from "Performance Evaluation Title: Superintendent of Schools" (Oct 10, 2024) to "Discipline/Dismissal/Release" (Nov 21, 2024).
