Board approves AB 1200 disclosure and two assistant superintendent employment contracts
Summary
The board approved the AB 1200 disclosure for the CSEA agreement and adopted employment contracts for two assistant superintendents — human resources and business — including compensation terms presented orally under Government Code requirements.
San Marino — At its Aug. 26 meeting the San Marino Unified School District Board approved an AB 1200 disclosure for the district’s agreement with the California School Employees Association (CSEA) Chapter 120 and approved employment contracts for two district assistant superintendents.
AB 1200: Dr. Choi presented the AB 1200 public disclosure showing the fiscal impact of the 2025–26 agreement with CSEA Chapter 120. The disclosure described a 2.3% ongoing increase to the salary schedule and a one‑time off‑schedule 3% payment for eligible unit members who started on or before Sept. 1, 2025. The Los Angeles County Office of Education reviewed the disclosure to confirm required reserves; the board approved the AB 1200 disclosure by roll‑call vote.
Assistant superintendent appointments: The board approved two employment contracts. Jason Rose (presented as Dr. Rose in the oral summary) was approved as Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, with an annual starting salary of $207,893 (Management salary schedule range D step 5), step increases and benefits as outlined in the contract. Dr. Steven Choi’s administrative contract as Assistant Superintendent of Business Services was continued and approved with his annual salary listed as $237,241 (management salary schedule range D step 8). Both contracts include monthly stipends (cell phone $75 and mileage $250), participation in applicable health and retirement benefits, and a no‑cause buyout provision that provides a capped severance equal to up to 12 months’ salary or remaining months on the contract, whichever is less.
The board took roll‑call votes on both administrative contracts and carried the motions; the superintendent read the required oral summary of compensation terms in open session consistent with Government Code section 54953.
Why it matters: AB 1200 disclosures and contract approvals disclose fiscal commitments and ensure the board considers personnel compensation and fiscal impacts in public session. The contracts establish multi‑year commitments for senior management who will help execute the district’s operational, facilities and bond priorities.
What’s next: Staff will finalize contracts and implement personnel onboarding and benefits adjustments as detailed in the agreements.
