Board approves contracts, curriculum adoption, and personnel declarations
Summary
The Auburn USD board approved several consent and action items including the declaration of need for fully qualified educators, a tentative teachers' agreement (AUTA), a 'me-too' management agreement, adoption of Amplify ELA, and job and salary approvals for an ELOP coordinator.
Trustees approved multiple consent and action items on the May agenda, including labor agreements, curriculum adoption and staffing authorizations.
On the consent and action items, staff recommended and the board approved: the declaration of need for fully qualified educators for 2026–27 (staff noted one open position and used conservative numbers for potential credential gaps); a tentative agreement ratified by the Auburn Union Teachers Association for the 2026–27 school year; a 'me-too' compensation agreement for management/confidential staff that mirrors the AETA terms (staff estimated a $46,064 cost for 2025–26 in district expense); and the district's recommended ELA curriculum adoption of Amplify for K–6.
The board also approved creation of a full-time ELOP coordinator position to expand after-school programming under the district’s ELOP tier 1 support, including a salary schedule range for the role estimated at $91,000–$116,000 total cost to the district; staff confirmed the position would be funded by ELOP dollars. During roll call the clerk called votes on the consent agenda; one trustee abstained from a specific item due to absence at the original meeting; other items were approved by voice vote.
No formal amendments to the contracts were reported; staff will proceed with implementation steps and paperwork required for ratification and payroll adjustments.
