Jefferson Union board adopts 2026–27 instructional materials, approves labor agreements and personnel resolutions
Summary
The board approved the district’s 2026–27 instructional materials and a related statutory resolution, ratified a tentative agreement with Teamsters Local 856, approved stipend and salary-schedule increases, authorized a teacher assignment for Samuel Holmes, and corrected the adult education calendar.
At its meeting following closed session, the Jefferson Union High School District board approved a package of routine but substantive items: adoption of instructional materials for 2026–27, a resolution affirming textbook sufficiency under state law, labor and compensation actions, and several personnel and calendar items.
Miss Baca presented the recommended list of textbooks and materials aligned to state content standards and recommended board adoption for the 2026–27 school year. The board conducted a public hearing on the Pupil Textbook and Instructional Materials Incentive Act and, with no public comments, approved a resolution affirming that all students will have sufficient textbooks and instructional materials as required by state law.
Miss Luhan presented a tentative agreement with Teamsters Local 856 that covers cafe workers and includes salary and health‑and‑welfare increases; trustees moved and approved the agreement. Luhan also introduced a recommendation to increase the governing board stipend by the same percentage negotiated for AFT Local 1481; trustees approved the stipend increase. The board approved revised classified salary schedules after staff clarified comp‑unit definitions at PERS’ request to ensure retirees maximize benefits.
On personnel matters, trustees approved a resolution authorizing an assignment of credential that will allow Samuel Holmes, a Jefferson High teacher who holds an English credential and has 42 semester units in fine arts, to teach art classes outside his authorized field for the 2026–27 year; the transcript records that the resolution must be approved annually. The board also approved a corrected adult education calendar: staff and AFT Local 1481 worked over the summer to reduce an earlier mistaken 142‑work‑day calendar to the correct 141 work days.
Votes recorded in the transcript were typically voice votes with trustees saying “aye.” One trustee abstained from approving the July 2 meeting minutes because they were not present for that meeting; that abstention is the only recorded non‑affirmative vote in the meeting transcript.
The meeting closed promptly after the solar asset vote and adjourned at 7:23 p.m. Additional contract and financing details referenced elsewhere in the meeting (notably the solar purchase) were not included in the packet of actions approved in this agenda item list and were not described in detail during these agenda approvals.
