Human Relations Type Action (Consent) SUBMITTED BY: Rachel D'Ambroso, Assistant Superintendent Human Relations ISSUE/BACKGROUND: The District has an urgent need to hire educational specialists for both mild/moderate and moderate/severe classrooms. On September 7, 2023, the Board of Trustees approved a Memorandum of Understanding with the Vista Teachers Association that provides an incentive to up to ten current or new unit members that accept and qualify for an education specialist intern assignment in the District. Each qualifying educational specialist is required to sign an employee agreement that allows them to remain or be placed on the current teacher salary schedule in lieu of being placed on the intern salary schedule. The employee must agree to obtain a special education credential within three years and remain employed in an education specialist position with the District for five years. In exchange, the District will reimburse the employee up to $20,000 for the cost of obtaining the credential. On October 12, 2023, the Board of Trustees approved ten employee agreements. Two of the previous ten employee agreements have been withdrawn, so two new employee agreements are presented to the Board for approval.
