Board approves multiple personnel actions, new positions and policies including substitute pay increase
Summary
The board approved a package of Human Resources items: additional instructional assistants for dual-immersion and full-day kindergarten, reclassifications for special-education assistants, creation of new positions (community liaison and board-certified behavior analyst), a salary increase for substitute teachers, and several policy and resolutions.
The Paramount Unified School District Board approved a series of Human Resources and policy items during its June 11 meeting.
Board votes (recorded in the transcript as voice/online votes with four yes votes) cleared approvals for additional instructional assistant positions for dual-immersion and full-day kindergarten programs, reclassification of some instructional assistant special-education positions, creation and establishment of job descriptions and authorizations for a community liaison and a board-certified behavior analyst, and a salary increase for substitute teachers. Several board policies and resolutions, including education protection account designations and district book lists and new course approvals, also passed in the same segment of the agenda.
During discussion members noted the district continues bargaining conversations with union representatives and emphasized the importance of competitive salary scales and retention for specialists such as nurses and psychologists. One board member suggested revisiting language in a reclassification item to avoid terminology she described as dated.
All motions in this block were recorded as passing (transcript records show motions passing with board members voting yes). The board will implement the newly authorized positions through Human Resources and Business Services as part of the coming fiscal year staffing process.
