District news
Pay raise for support staff and housing shortage on the agenda
What happened
The January 13, 2026 agenda included a pay increase and common salary schedule for classified staff (such as aides, cooks and drivers). It also asked whether to change the "teachers only" staff housing rule, because many others had asked to rent district housing during a local housing shortage. It listed teacher recruitment as well.
Why it matters to families
