Summary
The Moreland Board of Trustees approved a three-year tentative contract with the Moreland Teachers Association that includes a $3,380 lump-sum increase per salary cell, new longevity steps and other changes; the board also held and closed a public AB 1200 disclosure hearing on the agreement.
The Moreland School District Board of Trustees on Thursday approved a three-year tentative agreement (TA) with the Moreland Teachers Association (MTA) and completed an AB 1200 public disclosure hearing on the contract’s fiscal impact.
Presenter (speaker 2) summarized the main financial terms of the TA, saying, “We did a lump sum increase of $3,380 per each cell in the contract.” The presenter also described newly added longevity payments at years seven, 14 and 21 (stated as $1,000 at year 7, $2,000 at year 14 and $3,000 at year 21), higher stipends for master’s and doctorate degrees and a revised approach to special education pay so special education staff are included in the same formula used across the schedule.
The presenter said the TA merges preschool pay scales into one Moreland inclusive preschool and provides six collaboration days for preschool teachers. The agreement also revised language on discretionary and personal necessity days to broaden allowable uses while restricting their combined use, and clarified extended sick-leave language so differential pay applies only in specified, warranted medical circumstances.
After the board approved the TA, staff opened the AB 1200 public disclosure hearing required to notify the county of the agreement’s fiscal impact. The hearing was opened and closed with no public speakers, and the board approved the AB 1200 disclosure submission for the district’s MTA agreement.
Why it matters: the TA commits recurring compensation changes and new longevity payments that the district must fund in future budgets and be transparent about under AB 1200 disclosure rules.
What’s next: staff will submit the required AB 1200 disclosure to the county and proceed with final contract ratification steps per the district’s negotiated-ratification timeline.
