Board approves multiple personnel actions and multi-phased pay increases for management and targeted specialists
Summary
Trustees approved MOUs, position reclassifications and a multi-phase raise package that includes 3% (01/01/2026) and 2.5% (01/01/2027) for management, a targeted 4.5% raise for psychologists and mental-health specialists, and related classified and confidential adjustments.
The Western Placer Unified Board of Trustees approved a series of personnel actions on items grouped under the agenda's personnel and compensation section, including MOUs, reclassifications, new positions and a multi-phased pay plan for management and select specialists.
District administrator Mike presented multiple items the board approved: negotiating impacts from the elimination of two LVN para positions that were later backfilled by full LVNs; reclassifying a vacant LVN para to a para as a student's needs changed; reclassifying a food service assistant to a cook/baker at a high-volume elementary site; and creating an Education Services clerk position to relieve administrative workloads.
On compensation, the board approved a management offer that provides 3% effective Jan. 1, 2026 and 2.5% effective Jan. 1, 2027, with an additional targeted 4.5% increase for psychologists and mental-health specialists effective July 1, 2026 to better align pay with comparable districts. The board was told the district employs about a dozen psychologists and mental-health specialists and that the targeted raise aims to bring those positions closer to market.
The board also approved a range increase for account tech II positions (range 28 to 30), adopted an updated classified salary schedule incorporating earlier adjustments, and extended the management raise schedule to the unrepresented classified confidential group.
Each item was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote during the meeting. Board members discussed operational efficiencies and the need to monitor the district's multi-year budget as compensation commitments are integrated into projections.
The board did not defer any of the listed personnel items; staff will implement reclassifications and update salary schedules and carry related changes into payroll and future budget reports.
