La Mesa-Spring Valley board approves consent items, EV chargers, emergency storm repairs and authorizes retirement-plan design
Summary
The board approved business and educational consent items including procurement of ChargePoint EV chargers, an emergency waiver for storm-damage repairs funded by grants/JPA reimbursements, and authorized work to design a supplemental retirement plan that could include a 50% early-retirement incentive pending later analysis.
The La Mesa-Spring Valley School Board approved multiple consent and action items during its Nov. 12 meeting, including procurement for electric-vehicle charging infrastructure, an emergency public-works waiver for storm damage and authorization to develop a supplemental retirement plan.
Trustees approved the business consent agenda that included procurement of ChargePoint EV charging stations. The board thanked community donors, including the Barona Band of Mission Indians, for contributions to district programs.
On storm-related repairs, staff described the item as an emergency waiver to expedite public-project work stemming from flood damage. District staff said the work will be funded primarily through outside funding sources and grants and that the district expects to front the costs and submit for reimbursement; trustees approved moving forward to contract work.
The board also authorized staff to enter into discussions with Public Agency Retirement Services to design and administer a supplementary retirement plan. District staff described an early-retirement incentive concept — to be analyzed further — that would offer a one-time payment equal to 50% of an employee’s current-year salary to eligible certificated and classified non-management employees if used to realize budget savings; staff cited a target of about $6 million in potential budget reductions as context for exploring options. The board approved proceeding with the design and analysis; any final program would return for board approval.
Multiple consent and human-resources items were approved, including new positions in Extended School Services and step advancement for paraprofessional special-education staff to column D (noted as about $21 per hour) effective Jan. 1 to aid recruitment. Most motions were approved by voice vote; the transcript records board approval without roll-call tallies.
