School board approves raises for district personnel
The board, after an executive session, granted five to 20 percent pay raises to confidential and management staff to align with prevailing rates. The raises, including 20 percent for a supervisor of accounting, payroll, and chief buyer, were said to be annual figures though partially offset by midyear timing. The vote was 4-0 with one abstention, and negotiations for other groups continue.

State homemaker plan faces fresh criticism in California
In Sacramento lawmakers heard charges that California’s three year old homemaker program lacks adequate rules. An audit found private contractor regulations vague and 13 recommendations unacted since 1975. Officials warn costs may reach 500 million as up to 50,000 more become eligible. Henri Habenicht of Homehelpers testified that about 25 percent of enrollees did not belong in the program.
