The school board approved several personnel and compensation items on May 20, including a tentative agreement with the certificated bargaining unit, an appointment to the maintenance director post and revisions to multiple salary schedules.

Tentative agreement: the district and the certificated union reached a tentative agreement that covers salary increases totaling roughly 2%. The district described the package as 1.07% retroactive to July 1, 2024, with the remaining 0.93% applied beginning July 1, 2025. District staff provided an AB 1200 disclosure showing the two‑year cost of the tentative agreement at $935,322. Trustees approved the tentative agreement by voice vote.

Appointment: the board approved the appointment of Jim Haug as director of maintenance and operations, under a two‑year agreement effective July 1, 2025. The district said the hire followed an internal and external search and noted Haug’s service in district operations and bargaining leadership.

Salary schedule changes for other employee groups: because the certificated tentative agreement included increases that produced contractual or estimated savings, the district also adjusted salary schedules for classified, classified management, confidential, senior management and other groups to reflect a 0.14% additional increase beginning July 1, 2025 (amounts by group were provided in the staff report). The superintendent’s salary schedule was updated consistent with the same retroactive and forward adjustments; the presenter reported a $4,319 total cost for that change.

Board action: trustees moved and seconded the motions and approved the agreements and salary schedule revisions by voice vote. District staff said some salary increases were tied to negotiated early retirement incentives and that specific cost allocations were included in the public disclosures attached to the items.
