The Lemon Grove School District Governing Board on Aug. 9 unanimously ratified a settlement resolving a personnel matter involving a permanent classified employee, approved a separate settlement in Office of Administrative Hearings case #2022060346 and adopted a package of personnel changes and consent items, the board reported.
The board moved into closed session at 5:03 p.m. to discuss labor negotiations and personnel matters under Government Code §54957 and a potential settlement under Government Code §54956.9. After returning to open session at 6:23 p.m., trustees reported that the board ratified a settlement connected to agenda item 2.C that addresses the employee’s resignation in exchange for a severance payment and a general release; a separate motion approved the settlement for OAH case #2022060346. Both motions carried with all five trustees voting yes.
The board then approved a series of personnel and operational items. Trustees unanimously approved new job descriptions for Custodial Services Lead and Maintenance Services Lead; revised job descriptions for Network Analyst and Senior Custodian; a Dean of Students job description; a Classified Unit Pay Rate Index and the Classified Management salary schedule. The board also approved variable term waiver requests for Lugo, Plummer and Santos Aguirre, and appointed Christina Contreras to a one-year term on the Community Advisory Council as the East County SELPA representative.
"We should look into having a Lemon Grove contingent in the parade next year," Trustee Greg Shibley said while describing outreach opportunities and praising district programs, adding, "Look, we got some really good stuff going on out in Lemon Grove and you should check us out." Trustee Dr. Javier Ayala opened the board correspondence with community and school-start updates, noting faculty return dates at Grossmont College and his children's school schedule.
