Negotiations 4-9-2026

The meeting held by Calendars USD on April 9, 2026, primarily focused on negotiations related to employee compensation and contract language adjustments. Key procurement-related discussions included reviewing and potentially revising the stipend structure for counselors' extra duty days, with considerations to move from percentage-based pay to fixed dollar amounts to ensure consistency and fairness. The group also discussed the creation of a new tier for teacher support roles between apprentices and mentors, aiming to address support needs without full mentoring responsibilities. Additionally, there was dialogue about committee structures for safety and class size issues, proposing an executive committee to streamline decision-making and recommendations to the board. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, but the discussions involved budgetary implications for personnel pay and policy changes affecting future compensation and staffing arrangements.
