Christina Huth, Executive Director, stated that members of the public were encouraged to submit public comments via eComment through email at publiccomment@natomasunified.org. She noted there were no public comments received.
President Kaplan noted the resolution was changed from when it was originally posted to now. She asked staff to explain the change.
Javetta Cleveland, Deputy Superintendent stated that staff added in additional time in case someone else retires or would like to retire and join the other eight participants. She noted this would increase the amount of savings the district would get from offering the plan. She explained the district felt it was a cost benefit to allow other members to join to increase the amount of savings.
President Kaplan stated she appreciated the opportunity for others who were on the cusp and knowing this is available for the next few weeks to increase the savings.
Superintendent Evans stated for the record, if the Board takes action on this resolution, it exempts all retirement and resignation letters already submitted. |
