COSTA MESA : NEWPORT BEACH : School Workers Win New Contract
The Newport-Mesa Unified School District board this week approved a new contract for its classified employees for the 1990-91 school year.
The contract covers the district’s nearly 800 full- and part-time non-certified employees in positions including maintenance and custodial workers, bus drivers and administrative support staff.
Salaries will be increased by 5.27%, retroactive to July 1, raising the average monthly pay of classified employees from $1,932 to $2,037, according to Carol Stocker, the district’s chief negotiator. The district is also covering the increased cost of health-care benefits and reducing the amount of time required to earn vacation time.
In all, the compensation package will cost the district 8.06% more than last year and is a result of five months of negotiations between the district and the union that represents classified employees during contract talks.
