Board approves multiple tentative agreements, including 1.5% retroactive increases and step adjustments
Summary
Board approved several tentative agreements with employee groups — including retroactive 1.5% salary increases and step increases — and passed the consent agenda; trustees also voted to recess to closed session for attorney‑client and negotiations matters and scheduled a closed session for Feb. 12.
The board voted to approve multiple tentative agreements with employee groups during the meeting’s action items.
Administrators summarized key terms: a 1.5% salary increase retroactive to July 1, step increases for eligible employees for the past year and into the next contract year, and, for at least one group, reinstatement of 2.5 furlough days. The district and union teams also agreed on a joint public statement about the need to raise compensation to be competitive.
Trustees approved the tentative agreements by roll call votes; board members also approved a consent agenda that included donations, minutes and other routine items. During the action portion, the board moved to recess into closed session for attorney‑client privilege and negotiations and added a closed session to the Feb. 12 meeting agenda for additional negotiation matters.
What’s next: ratification and final contract documents will follow internal ratification steps where required; the board and district will coordinate the formal ratification and implementation mechanics with unions and post any required documentation to board records.
