Board approves Kids Corner staff unit modification to join CSEA chapter
Summary
The board approved a unit modification allowing Kids Corner employees to enter CSEA Chapter 123. District officials said the change should improve staffing stability and service capacity; staff said the program is projected to cover the cost impact.
The board approved a negotiated unit modification to include Kids Corner (before‑ and after‑school child care) employees in CSEA Chapter 123.
District staff described Kids Corner as an enterprise fund program that provides before‑ and after‑school care and has expanded responsibility for Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP) services. Staff said the unit modification responds to staffing shortages that emerged after COVID and should help stabilize staffing and reduce wait lists. Mr. Regan (Kids Corner leadership) reported active recruiting and onboarding efforts.
Administrators said the modification will increase program expenses (primarily compensation) but that projected revenues — including child‑care fees and ELOP funding — are expected to cover those costs. Staff projected improved enrollment stability and cited a preliminary forecast of an increase in revenue compared with last year; they will present detailed budget impacts as staffing stabilizes.
The board approved the unit modification by voice vote; trustees praised Kids Corner staff for their work.
