At a Bakersfield City School District Board meeting, trustees drew sharp criticism from the California School Employees Association as details emerged about pay moves. The union blasted the board for awarding themselves substantial raises while offering classified district workers only a 1% pay increase. Dinah May Jimenez, president of the CSEA, told trustees the 1% raise for classified staff “does not reflect the values of their work” and urged them to be ashamed of the disparity. The critique underscores ongoing tensions over compensation in the district, where administrators and school board members have cited budget constraints but unions argue the pay gaps undermine morale and recruitment for essential support roles. The article highlights concerns about equity for classified staff who perform critical duties behind the scenes, and the broader debate over how school districts allocate funds between top-level governance raises and frontline workers. No immediate policy changes were announced.
