Santa Ynez Valley board approves tentative agreement with faculty association
Summary
The Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District board approved a tentative agreement with its certificated faculty bargaining unit that board members described as including the increases referenced in the meeting as "1.46" and "2.35" for this year and discussed placement on the salary schedule; the motion passed unanimously by roll call.
The Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District Board of Education voted Oct. 8 to approve a tentative agreement with the district’s Faculty Association bargaining unit. The board’s action followed questions from trustees about the numerical increases referenced during negotiations and how those amounts will be placed on the district salary schedule.
Superintendent Kim introduced the item and board members asked for clarification about the figures discussed in bargaining. One trustee asked whether the figures described in discussion—spoken in the meeting as "1 46 and the 2 35"—represent the total increase for the bargaining unit for the year; administration answered, "Correct." The chair then called the motion and the board approved the tentative agreement by roll call with all present trustees voting aye.
The agreement was approved as presented; the board did not amend the motion during public discussion. The board also flagged questions about the interaction between these increases and future budget conditions, noting that any beyond-schedule adjustments may depend on property-tax receipts and long-term fiscal planning.
The board’s recorded roll-call voters were Mr. Johnson, Mr. Abara, Grace Velasquez and Ms. Sheehy. Miss Noble was noted as absent earlier in the meeting. The board did not provide additional written details in the meeting transcript about the precise schedule placement or the total district cost in the public presentation; those figures were not specified during the verbal report.
