The Cotati Rohnert Park Unified School District held their final board meeting for the 2020-21 school year on June 22. It was a noticeably short meeting with mostly routine items on the agenda. The next regular meeting won’t occur until August 17, 2021. Only three trustees were present. Trustees Leffler Brown and Joe Cimino were not in attendance. They again met in-person at the Rancho Cotate High School TAG building.
There was a closed session held prior to the open session. Three items were discussed. One was continuing discussion on labor negotiations with a district’s bargaining unit. Another was a discussion of Superintendent Mayra Perez’s performance evaluation. The third was concerning a confidential special education settlement agreement. The only action taken in closed session was approval of the settlement agreement as reported out by Board President Chrissa Gillies.
