Board Approves Summer Facilities Contracts, Accounting Reorganization and Personnel Adjustments
Summary
At the June board meeting trustees approved contracts for summer facilities work (San Altos drainage, lock replacements, exterior painting), an accounting reorganization MOU with CSEA, salary schedule updates for psychologists/social‑work counselors and several consent items; trustees were assured projects will begin this summer.
The Lemon Grove School District Board approved multiple action items at its June meeting related to summer facilities work, administrative reorganization and personnel compensation adjustments.
Chief Business Official Tianna Barton described three summer projects and asked the board to approve associated contracts. The board approved a contract to repair drainage issues at San Altos Elementary stemming from January 2024 floods (moved by Trustee Preciado, seconded by Trustee Robertson). Trustees also approved a contract with Codington Lock and Security to replace and rekey damaged doors at priority sites (Lemon Grove Academy Middle and Elementary, Monterey Heights and the district office) after fire‑inspection findings. A contract with Prime Painting Contractors to pressure‑wash, prime and repaint exterior surfaces at San Altos Elementary was also approved.
Barton presented a memorandum of understanding with the California School Employees Association (CSEA) to update the accountant classification and create a senior accountant classification; the MOU will reorganize an existing position and was described as having minimal fiscal impact. The board approved the MOU (moved by Trustee Robertson, seconded by Trustee Smith).
Doctor Johnson presented updates to salary schedules for certificated psychologists and social‑work counselors, aligning master’s and doctorate stipends across classifications (adding a master’s stipend and adjusting the doctoral stipend). The board approved the salary schedule revisions (moved by Trustee Preciado, seconded by Trustee Robertson).
Several items were approved on the consent agenda, and trustees received reports on construction planning — San Miguel parking lot phase 1 bidding is posted and construction was expected to begin within weeks. Trustees asked that contractors and site administrators conduct site walks to identify specific work areas and that murals and other non‑contracted artwork be preserved.
No objections were recorded in voice votes; the motions carried and staff were authorized to proceed with summer work and the personnel reorganization.
