Board appoints Debbie Campbell as chief business officer and approves SLP contract, literacy curriculum and salary formatting
Summary
Trustees approved a three‑year employment agreement for Debbie Campbell as chief business officer, authorized a contract with Emergence for additional SLPs, adopted Orton‑Gillingham for targeted special‑education instruction, and approved a reformatting of the classified/confidential salary schedule for reporting purposes.
The Santa Rita board on June 10 unanimously approved several personnel and program items, including the formal appointment of Debbie Campbell as the district’s chief business officer, a contract to increase speech‑language services, and adoption of a tier‑3 literacy curriculum for special‑education teachers.
The board provided the Brown Act‑required oral summary of the CBO employment agreement in open session before a vote. The agreement covers July 1, 2026–June 30, 2029, places the position at step 2 of the senior classified management schedule with an annual salary of $145,226 and accompanying management health and welfare benefits. Staff reported the total fiscal impact of the agreement is approximately $224,042; trustees moved, seconded and approved the agreement.
Trustees also approved a contract with Emergence to supply additional speech‑language pathologists for 2026–27, bringing the district to a total of 10 SLPs to meet student needs, and adopted the Orton‑Gillingham literacy program for tier‑3 instruction and coaching for roughly 18 RSP and mild/mod SDC teachers. The board approved a revised classified/confidential salary schedule reformatted to hourly for pension reporting; staff said annual pay amounts do not change.
All items were moved, seconded and approved in separate motions at the meeting.
