Board approves tentative agreements with teachers and management: one-time payment plus ongoing raise
Summary
The board approved tentative agreements with the San Marino Teachers Association and with management/administrative/unrepresented employees that include a one-time off-schedule payment equal to 3% of placement and a 2.3% ongoing salary increase.
The San Marino Unified School District Board of Education voted Oct. 14 to approve tentative agreements reached with two employee groups: the San Marino Teachers Association (SMTA) and the district’s management, administrative, confidential and unrepresented employees.
Dr. Lena Richter presented highlights of the SMTA tentative agreement, which staff said includes a mutually agreed date for submitting final grades, clarifications on leave usage, a March notice of intent to return for employees on leave, clarifications on minimum-day absence reporting, a one-time off-schedule payment equal to 3% of an employee’s 2025–26 placement on the salary schedule, and an ongoing 2.3% salary increase. Richter said the terms were reached through negotiations and recommended board approval.
Richter presented a similar tentative agreement for management, administrative, confidential and unrepresented employees that matches the SMTA compensation terms: a one-time 3% off-schedule payment and a 2.3% ongoing increase, effective July 1, 2025. District staff told the board these agreements are within the district’s adopted budget parameters.
Board members thanked negotiating teams and moved to approve both agreements; both motions passed by roll-call vote as recorded in the minutes. Staff indicated the agreements will be ratified and implemented under normal payroll and contract procedures.
