Board approves side letter clarifying APT contract language on health, welfare and salary adjustments
Summary
The board approved a side letter of agreement with the Associated Pomona Teachers to clarify contract dates so eligible members receive health and welfare and a 2% off-schedule increase; staff emphasized the change memorializes intent to avoid future audit ambiguity.
The Pomona Unified School District Board of Education approved a side letter of agreement with the Associated Pomona Teachers (APT) to correct and clarify contract language related to eligibility dates for health and welfare and a 2% off-schedule salary increase.
A district staff member said the change corrects a clerical error in previously approved contract language so that members active on June 2 receive both the health and welfare benefits and the 2% off-schedule increase. The correction is intended to memorialize the parties’ intent and prevent future audit disputes.
The board opened and closed the public hearing on the item with no public comments and approved the side letter by a 5-0 vote.
Why this matters: Contract language corrections determine which members qualify for agreed pay and benefits; the district said the side letter will prevent misinterpretation during future audits.
Taper: Staff will implement the corrected contract language and update payroll and benefits administration as necessary.
