Board accepts consent agenda; ratifies compensation agreements with GEA and GESPA
Summary
The board accepted a broad consent agenda including ratification of compensation agreements with the Granite Education Association (GEA) and the Granite Education Support Professionals Association (GESPA); the consent vote passed Yea-5, Abstain-1, Absent-1, with discussion about a contract-day study in the GEA agreement and one abstention due to inability to review materials.
At the May 6 meeting, the Granite School District Board of Education accepted the consent agenda, which included minutes, purchases, personnel actions, School LAND Trust plans, and ratification of compensation agreements with the Granite Education Association (GEA) and the Granite Education Support Professionals Association (GESPA).
Kris Nguyen moved acceptance and Connie Burgess seconded. Board Member Karyn Winder drew attention to a provision in the GEA agreement that authorizes a study into lengthening the teacher contract day, saying, "I highlight this because the study mentioned is a big deal to me... I will be voting to support this, but I just wanted to explain that little piece and why it is important to me." Kim Chandler said she could not review some School LAND Trust plans due to website access issues and would abstain from the vote. The consent agenda passed with a recorded tally of Yea-5, Abstain-1, Absent-1.
The ratified agreements were listed in the meeting packet; the consent vote moves the agreements into effect per the terms recorded in the packet and the board’s ratification process.
