The employment status of some of the top-level managers in the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District was one agenda topic for seven trustee meetings scheduled last month, including three regular meetings and four special sessions. And earlier this month, departure dates for two of the district's four assistant superintendents were listed on a personnel report approved 5-0 by trustees. Also, the newly hired superintendent began work two months before his originally scheduled start date. At an April 28 special session, Alex Cherniss, who was hired to begin as superintendent July 1 on a 5-0 vote at a regular April 18 meeting, had his first day of work moved to May 1, also on a 5-0 vote.
