Board approves four paid days for full-time classified staff
Summary
Trustees approved adding four paid days (July 5, the Friday after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve) for full-time year-round classified employees; the superintendent said the perk aims to aid recruitment and retention.
Trustees approved a proposal to grant additional paid days to full-time year-round classified staff, citing recruitment challenges for certain positions.
The superintendent proposed treating July 5, the Friday after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve as paid leave days for eligible classified employees (excluding the salaried tech director). He said the change is budgeted and intended as a modest recruitment and retention measure for positions that are difficult to fill, including maintenance staff and full-time custodians.
Trustees moved and seconded the proposal and approved it; the superintendent said he will draft board-policy language and bring a first reading next month. Trustee discussion emphasized the measure is budgeted and intended to reduce turnover for hard-to-fill roles.
Procedural note: trustees directed staff to prepare wording consistent with existing board policy for a first reading and to include the change in next month’s consent agenda if appropriate.
