Board schedules negotiations and pledges clearer staff communications after contract delays
Summary
Trustees acknowledged delays in issuing classified‑staff contracts, scheduled two department negotiation nights (planned for May 18 and May 21) and directed administrators to send staff an explanatory communication and timeline for contract distribution.
Board members expressed concern that classified‑staff contracts were later than usual this year and agreed to expedite negotiations and department meetings to address pay and alignment concerns.
Administrators acknowledged timing slipped compared with prior years and said the district will hold two evenings for negotiations and department‑level meetings so department heads can present pay and alignment requests. Board members and administrators tentatively set negotiation nights for Monday, May 18 and Thursday, May 21 with meeting times to be determined; administrators will confirm and notify staff.
Trustees asked administrators to send a districtwide communication explaining the delay, offering transparency about the schedule for contract distribution, and reassuring staff that contract packets will be issued soon. The board also agreed to continue the process of hearing department heads’ compensation concerns in annual department meetings to inform adjustments without a flat‑percentage approach.
