Summary

The board approved the AB 1200 disclosure finding the district can afford a negotiated 2% on‑schedule salary increase retroactive to July 1, 2025, ratified the teacher bargaining agreement, and approved a 2% on‑schedule increase for non‑represented employees. Staff said an additional 2% contingent increase for teachers and staff depends on receipt of $10 million in GS funding.

Staff presented the AB 1200 certification required by law and the board approved the disclosure after the county office of education concurred that the district can afford a 2% on‑schedule salary increase retroactive to July 1, 2025. The board then ratified the agreement with the Santa Monica‑Malibu Classroom Teachers Association, which includes the 2% on‑schedule increase and a previously negotiated contingent 2% increase tied to the district receiving $10 million in GS funding; staff said eligible increases will appear on the September 1 paycheck for teachers.

The board also approved a 2% on‑schedule compensation agreement for non‑represented employees (senior management, management, classified confidential) with the same contingency language about GS funds. Both the AB 1200 filing and the ratified agreements passed by roll call with the votes recorded in the meeting.
