Board approves AB 1200 disclosures for employee groups and superintendent pay amendment
The San Marino Unified School District Board of Education voted to approve AB 1200 fiscal disclosures for two negotiated compensation matters and approved an amendment to the superintendent's employment agreement that applies the same compensation adjustments to the superintendent.

Dr. Stephen Choi summarized the AB 1200 disclosures required by state law, citing the public transparency provisions for collective bargaining fiscal terms. The SMTA disclosure reports a 2.3% ongoing increase to the salary schedule and a one-time 3% off-schedule payment for unit members employed by the district on or before Sept. 1, 2025; the Los Angeles County Office of Education reviewed the disclosure and confirmed required reserves can be maintained. The board moved, seconded, and approved the SMTA AB 1200 disclosure by roll call (Mr. Song: Aye; Mrs. Lam: Aye; Mrs. Ryan: Aye; Mrs. Kia: Aye; Mr. Chen: Aye; Student Board Member (Burke/Book): Aye). "It is recommended that the Board of Education approve the AB 1,200 disclosure for the SMTA agreement," Choi said.

The board subsequently approved the AB 1200 disclosure for management, administrative, confidential, and unrepresented salary employees; staff said the county office also reviewed this disclosure. The motion passed by roll call with the same recorded "Aye" votes.

Dr. Jason Rose then presented an oral summary of a recommended amendment to the superintendent's employment agreement as required by Government Code section 54953 before final action. The amendment provides a 2.3% ongoing salary increase retroactive to July 1, 2025, and a one-time payment equal to 3% of the superintendent's annual salary (applied prior to the ongoing increase), consistent with the increases approved for the other unrepresented groups. Board members discussed parity with bargaining units and transparency of calculations. The board moved, seconded, and approved the contract amendment by roll call (Mr. Song: Aye; Mrs. Lam: Aye; Mrs. Ryan: Aye; Mrs. Kia: Aye; Mr. Chen: Aye; Student Board Member (Burke/Book): Aye). The superintendent noted that her contract language ties any such increases to the same adjustments provided to other unrepresented employees and that AB 1200 disclosures will be posted for transparency.

All three motions were recorded as carried; no dissenting votes were recorded in the transcript.
