Board approves two vice-principal placements, ratifies nutrition-services agreements and adds utility-worker positions
Summary
The board confirmed two public-employee appointments, ratified nutrition-services contract disclosures and approved four new utility-worker full-time positions to support grounds and facilities maintenance across comprehensive high schools.
The Lodi Unified School District board confirmed several personnel and routine business actions during its meeting.
Appointments: The board approved closed-session personnel placements to designate Melina Fuente as a middle-school vice principal and Abbas Akhtar as an elementary vice principal; the board recorded both votes as 6 yes and 1 absent and noted that effective dates and sites are to be determined.
Collective bargaining and job descriptions: The board received the statutory public disclosure of a collective bargaining agreement for nutrition-services positions represented by the Classified School Employees Association; presenters said the fiscal impact to the district’s cafeteria fund (Fund 13) is approximately $187,000. The board also ratified a memorandum of understanding and updated nutrition-services job descriptions.
Facilities staffing: The board approved adding four FTE utility-worker positions (one for each comprehensive high school) to assist with grounds and facilities; the item passed with the same 6–yes, 1–absent tally recorded for other votes on the agenda.
