Board approves Specialist MOU amendment to add bilingual stipend
Summary
The board approved an amendment to the 2025–27 Specialist Memorandum of Understanding to add language providing a stipend for employees who speak a second language; staff said the change does not affect the district budget.
District staff reported that language was missing from the Specialist 2025–2027 Memorandum of Understanding and proposed an amendment to add a stipend for staff who speak a second language. John Koch told the board the change was a language clarification and confirmed it did not change the budget.
The board approved the amendment as presented by motion, with the vote recorded as unanimous (7–0). The amendment will be incorporated into the Specialist MOU for the 2025–27 term.
Why it matters: Adding a bilingual stipend clarifies compensation for staff who provide language services and may affect retention or recruitment of bilingual employees; staff stated the amendment is budget-neutral for the district as presented to the board.
