Board delays vote on unaffiliated staff raises to June 2 after questions about performance‑based increases
Summary
Trustees removed the unaffiliated staff raise item from the consent agenda and voted to postpone action to the June 2 meeting, asking administration to provide clearer documentation on evaluation‑based allocations and CPI calculations.
Board members removed the approval of 2026–2027 unaffiliated staff salary increases from the consent agenda and discussed the item in detail. The administration described the proposal's structure: retirement‑track employees receive a 6% increase where allowed by pension rules; staff rated “excellent” received a 5% increase, those rated “proficient” received 2.9% (tied to CPI), and employees who did not meet expectations would receive no increase. The board requested evidence and explanation of the performance metrics and asked for a written breakdown to protect staff privacy while allowing board oversight.
Several trustees said new board members wanted additional time to review the methodology behind the allocations. Administration agreed to resend the documentation and told the board the district can accommodate a June 2 action date with payroll timing concerns manageable. A motion to postpone the vote until the June 2 meeting was seconded and approved by roll call.
The board emphasized it does not intend to deny raises but seeks clarity on the evaluation process used to determine percentage differences across unaffiliated staff. The item will return on the June 2 agenda with requested documentation.
