You requested information from the Business & Finance Office about a reported 16.4% increase in the
FY 2015-16 district office budgets from the prior year FY 2014-15. The district office consists of all
employee categories: represented, non-represented, classified, and management staff. You noted that
you received several constituent correspondences with the stated concern that either the district office
has increased:
salaries by 16.4%; or
the top 100 highest paid district employees by 16.4%.
Total.....$6.1 million
NOTE: The 28.6 new district office positions addressed many critical district needs including:
Again, district salaries have not increased dramatically. District-wide we continue to be one of the
leanest administrative offices in the state. We have been at 5.8% and are now at 6.1% - still
considerably below the more typical 7.0%. This is reflection of starting to replace some of the
desperately needed positions lost during the recession year.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information on this matter.
