ENCINITAS — The San Dieguito Union High School District recently approved an increased salary schedule for the district’s classified employees to align with the state’s new minimum wage requirements. However, members of the Classified School Employees Association, or CSEA, said they want to see the district go above and beyond minimum wage for its employees, many of
whom are struggling financially. “This hard work and commitment should not go unrecognized, and so it saddens and disappoints me that classified employees like myself and within San Dieguito Union High School District are even here talking about minimum wages because let us all recognize that the work we do, it’s not minimal,” said Roberta Blank, an TURN TO WAGES ON 32

The California Coastal Commission conditionally approved proposed changes to Del Mar’s paid parking program on Feb. 9, allowing increases in maximum hourly rates from $3 to $4 and maximum daily costs from $15 to $20.
