Board approves routine consent items, MOUs for fire relief and ROP salary changes; proposed classified reductions not considered
Summary
The Pomona Unified board approved minutes, the consent calendar, a certificated release resolution and several labor MOUs, adopted salary schedule changes for ROP and custodial reorganizations, and heard a presentation on proposed classified layoffs that received no motion and therefore no board action.
The Pomona Unified School District Board of Education took multiple formal votes at its Feb. 12 meeting. Key outcomes:
- Approval of minutes and consent calendar: The board approved earlier meeting minutes and the consent calendar (motion moved by Mr. Jimenez; seconded by Dr. Nashua). Roll calls recorded unanimous votes where noted.
- Resolution No. 19 (release/non‑reelection of certain temporary, substitute and probationary certificated employees): Presented by Sylvia San Martin and approved by the board. Motion carried (moved by Mr. Jimenez; second by Ms. Gonzales). Vote recorded 5–0.
- Resolution No. 20 (reduction of classified personnel due to lack of work or lack of funds): Staff presented the item and answered board questions about union communication and vacancies but the item received no motion and therefore was not considered further at the meeting. The item remains on staff’s record but received no board action that evening.
- Memoranda of Understanding (fire relief banks & leave flexibility) for bargaining units: The board approved three similar MOUs to create a fire relief bank and leave flexibility for employees impacted by regional fires. The MOUs were approved for Associated Pomona Teachers (9.06), California School Employees Association Chapter 14 (9.07), and PACE (9.08). The approvals were unanimous where votes were recorded (each 5–0). Timelines in the MOUs allow unions to open donation windows and set application periods; employees affected by fires have application deadlines and use windows described in the MOUs.
- MOU with Associated Pomona Teachers for Adult & Career Education (ROP): Approved (moved by Mr. Jimenez; second by Dr. Nashua). The agreement updates the ROP salary schedule, incorporates longevity increments, clarifies instructional time and compensation for extra periods, and reflects an effort to improve recruitment and retention of ROP instructors. Vote recorded 5–0.
- Adoption of salary schedule changes related to custodial reorganization (SB 1162 posting requirement): Approved. Motion recorded and carried by unanimous vote (5–0).
Roll call votes on multiple items were entered the evening of Feb. 12 with five board members voting in favor where recorded. Several items were brought for information only or as first reads and will return to the board in coming meetings.
Below are the formal actions recorded in the meeting record with movers, seconders, and vote tallies as announced on the record.
