Staff get a step raise and $1,000 bonus, but no cost-of-living raise
What happened
On April 21, 2026 the board gave staff a one-step raise and a $1,000 holiday bonus, with a possible June bonus (later approved). It also switched staff health insurance to Harbor Bridge. The superintendent said the step raise will not cover employees' higher health costs.
Why it matters to families
The district said falling enrollment means less state money. In March it said it may cut some support jobs and leave some teaching jobs unfilled when people leave.
