Title I and critical-shortage supplements confirmed; district explains payout timing
Summary
Negotiators confirmed Title I supplements continue, paid retroactively and split with regular checks; critical-shortage supplements will be split and paid at two points (early and end-of-year). Bargainers wanted reassurance that eligible staff would still receive the allocations despite broader budget reporting.
District staff confirmed that Title I supplements and critical-shortage payments would continue under the proposed MOUs with updated dates. S1 explained that the Title I supplement is handled as a retroactive supplement added into payroll and split across paychecks; the critical-shortage supplement is split into two payments with amounts paid earlier in the year and later at the end of the year.
Union members expressed concern that broad public discussion of the district’s $1.2 billion budget could create confusion among educators and the public about why the millage is needed. Bargainers asked the district to coordinate messaging so teachers understand that existing budgets and restricted funds do not necessarily cover the supplemental amounts proposed in the referendum.
