The Coronado Unified School District board tasked each trustee with committee assignments to four committees.

Trustee Fitzhugh Lee took over for Trustee Scot Youngblood and joined Trustee Renee Cavanaugh in the facilities master plan ad hoc committee. Meanwhile, Youngblood will remain in the joint school board and Coronado City Council committee known as the “2X2” alongside Lee.

Board President Alexia Palacios-Peters joined Trustee Malachy Sandie in the CUSD steering safety committee. Palacios-Peters and Sandie will remain on the military ad hoc committee. 

These appointments are considered official, although the board did not vote nor will it vote on the roles in the future.
