Board approves staffing adjustments, MOU title changes and variable‑term waiver
Summary
The board approved a resolution to lay off two positions tied to the King's Beach Family Center funding shift, three memoranda of understanding updating kitchen job titles and duties, and a variable‑term waiver to allow a newly hired credentialed counselor to begin while finishing credential requirements.
The Tahoe Truckee Unified School District board on March 5 approved a set of personnel items the district said are intended to align operations with funding changes and updated job duties.
Executive Director of Human Resources Mike Shepherd presented a resolution to lay off two positions tied to a change in how the Kings Beach Family Center will be funded and staffed next year. Shepherd said the center’s funding is being moved to Sierra Community House; district employees who staffed the family room were offered positions with Sierra Community House but chose to remain district employees. Shepherd told the board the staff members “currently have multiple positions and the positions they're losing … they will still be employed because they're currently employed at the school in other positions.” He described the requested layoff as affecting 0.625 FTE community liaison (position 673) and 0.4375 FTE child instructional assistant (position 1288), for a total of 1.0625 FTE.
The board approved the resolution (listed in the minutes as Resolution No. 22‑2024‑25). Shepherd and board members said they expect the impacted employees to obtain available vacant positions within the district and described the action as restructuring tied to an external provider taking over one program’s operations.
Staff also presented three negotiated memoranda of understanding to revise job descriptions and titles in food service. The board approved: a revised job description and new title changing “Cook” to “Chef”; a revised job description changing “Food Service Worker” to a sous‑chef title; and a revision to the district’s floater chef position to explicitly include food delivery driver duties after a legal change clarified when driving must be an essential job function. Shepherd described the changes as recognizing industry‑level duties performed by staff and ensuring job descriptions match actual responsibilities.
Finally the board approved a variable‑term waiver for a newly hired part‑time counselor who must finish credential requirements this year; Shepherd said the employee will be fully credentialed next year.
Ending: Shepherd said negotiators will bargain the impacts and effects with CSEA as required and that staff will assist employees in finding available vacancies where feasible.
