Episode Details

Modesto City Schools board members just approved a major pay bump—jumping from $765 to $3,000 monthly—just as new state law raised their pay cap. The move sparks backlash amid ongoing teacher contract negotiations, with critics like employee Armando Arviso arguing teachers’ fair pay and benefits should come first. One board member, Cindy Marks, voted against it, calling the raise insensitive given teachers’ lack of contract. The district notes board members haven’t seen a raise in 40 years, while other districts like Stockton Unified followed suit under the new law.
