Board approves licensed‑professional pay adjustment and a reserve‑policy resolution
Summary
Trustees approved an AB 1200 disclosure and an updated licensed‑professional salary schedule (approx. 4.32% schedule increase projected) and adopted a resolution allowing the district to maintain an economic uncertainty reserve up to 17% of general‑fund expenditures.
The board approved an AB 1200 disclosure that projects the fiscal impact of an adjusted licensed‑professional salary schedule and then adopted the updated salary schedule itself. District finance staff estimated a 4.32% change on the licensed professional schedule and an annualized cost increase of roughly $23,000.52 (projected for four employees on the schedule). Staff said one position (behavior specialist/BCBA) will be partially paid using restricted medical‑billing funds where applicable, and that hiring employees (versus contractors) could produce long‑term savings.
Separately, the board adopted Resolution 24‑25‑108 to formalize a fund‑balance policy under GASB 54 and to allow the district to maintain an unrestricted reserve for economic uncertainty up to 17% of general‑fund expenditures (while preserving the statutory 3% minimum). Chief Business Officer Jeremy explained that a larger, explicit reserve reduces the risk of cash‑flow borrowing and improves transparency for the county and auditors.
All items were approved by roll call vote; staff indicated the county office of education reviewed the AB 1200 disclosure and the reserve resolution language prior to the meeting.
