A little more than one week after voting to eliminate roughly 80 teacher positions, the Pajaro Valley Unified School District Board of Trustees will reconsider the issue during a special meeting Monday, the district announced Friday evening.
The vote on Dec. 11 took place without discussion after newly appointed Board President Carol Turley cleared the Watsonville City Chambers and proceeded without the public present.
The decision has since garnered scorn from many members of the public who said they signed up to speak and were not given the chance.
To revisit a vote, one board member who voted in favor must request it. But it was not clear Friday which trustee made the request. Trustees Misty Navarro, Olivia Flores, Joy Flynn, Jessica Carrasco and Carol Turley voted in favor, and Gabe Medina and Daniel Dodge, Jr. dissented.
The Pajaronian has reached out to Turley for comment.
