The Ontario School Board of Directors on May 6 held an executive session to review a parent complaint and went into open session immediately afterwards to address the complaint in the open session.
The board addressed Kate and Ella Draper, who were brought back into the open session to hear the outcome.
Board Chairwoman Renae Corn asked the board whether they wanted to discuss the decision, to which board member Eric Evans said he did not and that the agreement was the board would return to open session to vote on the complaint and read an accompanying statement.
An initial motion made by board member Blanca Rodriguez to uphold the decision of Superintendent Nicole Albisu regarding Draperâs complaint; however, Evans said he would not agree to the motion unless it was amended to include reading a statement.

The annual evaluation of Ontario School District Superintendent Nicole Albisu took nearly three hours on March 8, as board members discussed their individual rankings on various aspects of the superintendentâs performance. They will meet again Monday to agree on a final consensus score on each of the standards they evaluated her on.
At the onset of the meeting Chairwoman Renae Corn read from a prepared statement, noting the meeting was being held in open session at Albisuâs request. Corn urged the board to use courtesy and civility and respect the need for honest conversations.
âIt is our hope that moving forward we can return to proper dignity and courtesy among board members, administrators, staff, students, parents and community members,â Corn said.
