Pasadena Unified Board of Education to Meet Thursday

A proposal to increase the salaries of teachers in the Pasadena Unified School District will be among important matters to be discussed during the regular monthly meeting of the PUSD Board of Education Thursday, May 26, starting at 4:30 p.m.

A PUSD Agenda Report for the meeting says the United Teachers of Pasadena have agreed to a six percent increase in their salaries effective January 2016.

According to state ordinances, documents related to the salary increase shall be made available for public review starting Wednesday, May 25, through Wednesday June 15, in the Business Services Department at 351 S. Hudson Avenue. The documents may be viewed during business hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 P.M.

The documents have already been sent to the Los Angeles County Office of Education and the salary increase is expecting approval around the middle of June. Once approved, the salary increases will be retroactive to January 2016.

Other items in the Board of Education agenda include approval of other personnel actions including some re-assignments and consultant contracts, and approval of facilities contracts for improvement of school facilities in the various schools in the district.

Parents and other stakeholders who may have issues and concerns about school matters may attend the public session starting at 5:30 p.m.
