MOU under review: officials say formula to equalize classified‑staff obligations still being tested
Summary
Committee members and counsel said an MOU among the three districts addresses potential liabilities, post‑employment benefits and rights of classified staff but that a formula to equalize classified‑staff obligations remains under review and may be tweaked before final submission to the State Board.
Presenters and counsel said a memorandum of understanding among the three districts addresses three major areas: potential liability for obligations of the former high school district, post‑employment benefit handling for employees who retire near unification, and preservation of classified staff rights. Marguerite Leoni said the MOU "contains a flow formula for equalizing obligations to classified staff" and that involved parties were testing whether the formula implements the districts’ intent.
"At this point, I don't know if we have an update on that," Leoni said during the presentation, and committee members asked for written confirmation that any tweaked formula be included in the record sent to the State Board. Presenters emphasized the parties had negotiated the MOU in public meetings and that staff and attorneys were reviewing the details; the committee voted to adopt the plans while asking that the MOU’s formula be confirmed in writing for the record prior to submission.
