Agenda Item
S.-4 24-2950 Approval by the Board of Education of Amendment No. 2, Employment Agreement with Lisa Grant Dawson to serve as Chief Business Officer for the term December 12, 2024 through June 30, 2026, with a base salary of $334,425 per year, $9,000 in additional pay (eligible stipends), $12,611.16 in District-Paid Benefits (including health, vision, and dental insurance; long term disability insurance; life insurance; membership in professional associations), and $127,685.99 in fringe benefits (annual longevity payment and Supplemental Retirement Plan payment), some of which increase annually.*
___
*Disclosure of salary and fringe benefits, for term, is pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(c)(3).
If we are in dire financial circumstances, then why has the salary + benefits for this position nearly doubled in 4 years? I support a modest pay increase, but not an extravagant pay increase.
Total cost of this package is nearly $484K a year. For the District's chief austerity officer. Oh, doctor, heal thyself. On a night when this board is discussing a draconian package of budget cuts as well as a truly needless package of school closures, this isn't just nonsensical, it's an insult to the community. Absolutely not.

Austerity starts at home-- $484K/year is obscene when budget cuts and school closures are on the table.
