MPS School Site Classified Employees Pay Raise Schedule for 2021-22

D.Hajmeirza, Director of Human Resources explained that for the 2020-21 school year, the pay raise schedule was frozen due to COVID-19 and its impacts. A pay raise schedule was proposed for this 2021-22 school year. Based on the persons evaluation, they are given either a 2%, 4%, or 6% increase. Staff presented a breakdown of those adjusted rates based on the current average hourly rate for each classified employee. Committee Members requested to view the Budget for them to move forward and to see if these increases will be sustainable for the school sites. S.Orazov, Chief Financial Officer, explained that him and the Finance Department are working on the Budget and elaborated on the process as they are waiting for projections for the Governors proposal that will be approved on June 15th. They are taking into account all funding and have been meeting with the all school site Principals to ensure that the budget for their school is sustainable considering the projection of a decline of enrollment. The Budget will be presented to the Finance Committee and then taken to the full Board.
U. Yapanel made a motion to recommend approval of the 2021-22 classified employees salary pay raise schedule and moves the item to the MPS Board of Directors for approval.
S. Covarrubias seconded the motion.
The committee VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
