Item XIII D - Ratify a Memorandum of Understanding between District and NTA
regarding the Salary Placement of CTE Instructors
Speaker:
Angela Herrera, Chief Academic Officer
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Superintendent Recommends Approval Angela Herrera, Chief Academic
Officer
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to ratify a Memorandum of Understanding between the
Natomas Unified School District and the Natomas Teachers Association
(NTA) regarding the Salary Placement of CTE Instructors.
Rationale:
At the September 23, 2019 Special Board Meeting, the Board approved the
Tentative Agreement between the District and NTA. The Agreement
included language that allows us to initially place CTE instructors based not
only on years of credentialed teaching experience, but also on relevant
industry experience.
Both the District and NTA expressed an interest to ensure that we are able
to adjust placement for any current CTE instructors hired prior to July 1,
2019, as the language already applied to any CTE instructors hired for the
2019-20 school year.
Through the MOU, effective July 1, 2019, current and actively employed
CTE instructors, in addition to future CTE instructors, shall be afforded
salary schedule credit for verified prior experience and relevant
industry/pathway experience and or verified CTE experience on a year-foryear
basis. The salary schedule credit shall only be prospective and shall
not result in a retroactive salary payment for District employment prior to
July 1, 2019.
