Simi Valley Unified board approves raises and multiple executive employment agreements
Summary
Trustees approved a package of employment agreements and recommended salary increases for several district executives, including assistant superintendents and the superintendent; approvals were taken by roll-call votes and will be reflected in amended contracts.
The Simi Valley Unified School District board on Thursday approved a series of employment agreements and recommended salary increases for district executives, including assistant superintendents and the superintendent.
At the start of the action calendar the clerk read each item and the recommended compensation changes. The board approved the agreement for Julie Ellis in the position of assistant superintendent of personnel services with a recommended salary increase of $7,759.39; the board also approved a recommended increase of $10,688.68 for Ron Toto, associate superintendent of business services, and similar increases for other administrators. Each item was moved, seconded and passed on a roll-call vote recorded as "Aye." (The clerk read the specific dollar amounts into the record.)
Superintendent Dr. Hannah Youssef thanked trustees and labor leaders for their work during negotiations and praised the board's leadership, saying, "Leadership absolutely matters," and noting the approvals reflected the district’s effort to retain staff and maintain operations.
The board also approved an agreement with the Simi Educators Association and completed the AB1200 disclosure for tentative negotiated salary settlement agreements with both the educators and the California School Employees Association; a CSEA representative told trustees the parties had reached agreement on wage increases and anticipated completion of full contracts before the June 25 meeting.
Votes were recorded by roll call on each employment item. The clerk read multiple contracts and their compensation elements, including amendments to work calendars. The minutes record the motions, seconder(s), and the board’s unanimous or recorded "Aye" votes for the items on the action calendar.
The board did not amend the dollar amounts at the dais; the clerk’s readings and the roll-call votes constituted final action on the items presented. The board scheduled no additional public deliberation on those specific contract dollars during this meeting.
