Corning Union High School Board approves one-time staff payment, ratifies agreements and amends superintendent contract
Summary
The board voted unanimously to implement a one-time 2% payment for unrepresented employees, increase the district contribution to the employee insurance cap by $1,500, ratified two tentative agreements and approved an amended contract for Superintendent Miguel Barriga.
The Corning Union High School District Board voted unanimously Feb. 13 to implement a one-time 2% payment for unrepresented employees and to increase the district’s contribution to the employee insurance cap by $1,500.
Board President Tony Turri reported out after a closed session that the board had also unanimously adopted Resolution No. 475 and voted to non‑reelect one probationary certificated staff member. The board then moved on to several labor and compensation actions in open session, ratifying tentative agreements and updating salary schedules reflecting the 2024–25 settlements.
Trustees ratified a tentative agreement between CUHSD and CITA and a separate agreement with CUHS CAL ESP‑CTA by unanimous votes. The Board also approved revised salary schedules tied to those settlements and an amended contract for Superintendent Miguel Barriga; the motions passed 5–0.
When asked by Julie Johnson of the Corning Observer whether a formal evaluation preceded the superintendent’s contract and what percentage increase was included, President Turri said the contract is a two‑year agreement and that specific percentage details would be provided later by the superintendent. Regarding a title change for Audri Bakke, Turri said, “she is already doing those duties and it does include a pay increase.”
The board approved several other items tied to personnel and operations during the meeting, including Human Resources position changes and stipend adjustments listed on the HR report. Where the minutes record a numerical change not stated in open session (for example, the percent used in the superintendent’s contract), those figures were not disclosed in public comment and are therefore not specified here.
Votes at a glance: all motions described above recorded unanimous 5–0 approval in the meeting minutes, with individual trustees’ votes entered in the official roll-call record.
