Board approves principals’ bargaining agreement and governance ratings; motions pass unanimously
Summary
The board unanimously approved the negotiated collective bargaining agreement with the Yakima Principals Association and later approved governance ratings for the superintendent (policy 1000.2.0); both motions carried by voice vote.
The board considered several business items during the June 1 meeting. Dr. Christina Larson presented the negotiated collective-bargaining agreement between the Yakima Principals Association and the district; Larson summarized fiscal impacts including a raise for the coming year and adjustments to the salary schedule (lane collapsing) intended to accelerate pay progression for committed leaders.
A motion to approve the agreement was moved and seconded; the board voted by voice and the motion "carried unanimously," according to the clerk. The agenda materials include the full redline and a fiscal summary in the packet.
Later, the board reviewed governance monitoring policies and voted to approve ratings for 1000.2.0 (Global Executive Constraint). The board indicated unanimous agreement via the board's survey process and then moved to accept the ratings in open session; the motion passed by voice vote.
On audits, Mr. Jacob Cooper presented the annual audit (financial and federal) and noted a clean financial statement and no adverse opinions in the federal audit. The board discussed using the usual survey process for formal acceptance; district staff praised the finance team for sound recordkeeping. No additional fiscal votes were held on the audit at the time of the meeting.
Votes at the meeting recorded unanimous support for the principals’ agreement and for the governance rating motion. The full negotiated agreement and the audit documents are available in the board packet for public review.
