HUNTINGTON BEACH UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT WRAP-UP

WHAT HAPPENED:

Dave Larsen, the district’s general counsel, recommended that the

board seek legal written advice from the Fair Political Practices

Commission concerning the potential conflict-of-interest issues raised by

trustee Sallie Dashiell’s participation in Individualized Educational

Plan meetings on behalf of parents.

The letter also requests advice on Dashiell’s ability to participate

in budgetary decisions affecting the West Orange County Consortium for

Special Education, which Huntington Beach Union High School District is

apart of.

WHAT IT MEANS:

In December, Fountain Valley School District wrote a letter to the

Huntington Beach district asking that Dashiell cease her role in

attending Individual Education Plan meetings for a Fountain Valley

student. The Fountain Valley district is a member of the West Orange

County Consortium for Special Education, and the Huntington Beach Union

High School District is the responsible educational agency of that

consortium.

The district is seeking further legal advice on any possible

conflict-of-interest issues that lie in Dashiell’s involvement with

special education.
