Calexico Unified board approves revised salary schedule, applies 2.87% statutory COLA for 2026–27
Summary
The Calexico Unified School District board voted unanimously to update the district salary schedule to reflect a 2.87% statutory cost-of-living adjustment for the 2026–27 school year, and deferred management pay adjustments to the August regular meeting due to government-code restrictions.
The Calexico Unified School District board voted 5-0 to approve a revised salary schedule that incorporates a 2.87% statutory cost-of-living adjustment for the 2026–27 school year, effective July 1, 2026, President Lavinia said.
Mister Jimenez told the board the district negotiated with its labor partners — ACT (the teachers union) and CSA (the classified employees’ union) — for “an increase in salary of 2.41% or the statutory COLA, whichever is higher.” He said the State of California “just last week approved a statutory COLA of 2.87%,” and the district is updating its salary schedule from 2.41% to 2.87% to reflect that state action.
Jimenez also advised that adjustments for classified and certificated management staff could not be approved at the special meeting. “Under government code, we cannot approve management salary schedules in a special board meeting,” he said, and the district will present those management salary schedule updates at the regular August board meeting for the same 2.87% statutory COLA.
The board first approved its consent agenda by voice vote earlier in the meeting. After the presentation and brief discussion, a motion to approve the revised salary schedule was made, seconded and approved on a 5-0 voice vote.
The action applies the state-set COLA to the district’s salary schedule for represented employees as described and schedules management pay updates for formal consideration at the August regular board meeting.
