REPORTS AND INFORMATION ITEMS
Mr. Quintana noted the format for presenting the recommendations from the Meet and Confer team had been structured in a manner somewhat different from what has been done in the past at the advice of legal counsel. He explained the reason for this is some of the recommendations from the Meet and Confer team are contingent upon the outcome of next week’s election, specifically Proposition 123.
2015-2016 Salary/Wage
IncreaseAdministration provided the Governing Board with information regarding potential proposed salary/ wage increases for the 2015-2016 school year. Mr. Quintana reported administration would propose salary increases for the current school year should Proposition 123 be approved by voters. The proposed increases would be retroactive for the current school year, retroactive to July 1st. Salary increases recommended are in a tiered structure with employees who have been employed with the District longer receiving a higher percentage salary increase in order to “decompress” the salary schedule for greater equity in employee pay structures, which were made inequitable as a result of the funding cuts associated with the recession beginning in 2008.
The proposed increases, contingent on the passage of Proposition 123, are:
If hired 2008-09 or prior5% increase to base*
Hired 2009-10 through 2011-20124% increase to base*
Hired 2012-13 or 2013-143% increase to base*
Hired 2014-152.5% increase to base*
Hired 2015-162% increase to base*
*permanent increase to employees’ salaries
Mr. Samaniego stated confusion regarding the proposed tiered structure of salary increases and for which employees this would apply to.
