Summary
After debating a proposal to study all salary schedules, the Newman-Crows Landing board approved updates to the 2024–25 classified and certificated management salary schedules; both votes passed with recorded 4-1 tallies (two 'no' votes recorded on the certificated schedule).
The Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District board voted to approve updates to the 2024–25 classified management hourly and certificated management salary schedules and directed staff to pursue a districtwide study of all salary schedules.
Board members discussed the scope of the study before the votes. "I just wanted to ask for a study... possibly to look at teacher salary percentage, longevity, health benefits," said a board member during deliberations; several members clarified they wanted both historical context and forward-looking comparisons covering all salary schedules, not just the two pulled items.
The board approved the classified management hourly salary schedule (item I) on a 4-1 roll-call vote; Board member Gonzales recorded the lone 'no.' The certificated management salary schedule (item J) also passed with a recorded 4-1 tally; the transcript records No votes by Board member Rock and Board member Gonzales.
Superintendent Pruitt confirmed the board's direction to study all salary schedules going forward. Board members asked staff to return with historical data and comparative analyses to inform future negotiations and budget planning.
