Martinez Unified will seek approval for adult-education apprenticeship salary increase
Summary
District staff presented an information item on annual salary increases for Martinez adult-education apprenticeship instructors; presenter Janelle Iatt said the increases are set by the local trades union and funded by state related and supplemental instruction funds, with no impact on the district general fund.
District staff presented details March 9 on proposed salary increases for Martinez adult-education instructors who participate in a joint electrical apprenticeship program.
Janelle Iatt told trustees the apprenticeship salary adjustments are part of an annual process: "Our adult education instructors are a part of our apprenticeship program and their salaries are established through their local trades union," she said. Iatt said the funding for these positions comes from state related and supplemental instruction funds and "is not an impact to the general fund." The board heard the item as information; staff said it will return to the board for formal approval in two weeks.
Why it matters: the increase affects instructors in the district's apprenticeship classes and is tied to negotiated union scales rather than a district-wide salary schedule. Staff emphasized the program's funding source to clarify that the general fund will not be charged for the change.
Next steps: staff will place the item on the consent or action calendar at the next meeting for the board's approval.
