District staff said the teacher pay scale was adjusted to reflect provisions of House Bill 2: teachers with three and four years of service will receive $2,500 more than last year; teachers with five or more years will receive $5,000 more. Teachers with zero, one or two years of service will receive a 2% raise. Staff said those 2% raises were not mandated by the state and were not directly state-funded.
Professional support staff (counselors, librarians, nurses) were placed on the former teacher pay scale with a 2% raise per step, the district said. The police department received a new pay scale; custodians received a $500 increase on each step; all other auxiliary and paraprofessional staff received a 2% raise.
District staff estimated the 2% raises cost roughly $500,000 and said the teacher raises cost about $1.8 million.
A trustee moved to approve the 2025–26 pay scales, a second was recorded, the board voted by voice and the chair announced that the pay scales had passed. The public transcript does not record a roll-call vote or individual yes/no tallies.
The board took the action as an agenda item; the transcript contains no additional implementation dates for the raises but shows staff appreciation and brief comment from trustees accepting the proposal.

Presenters highlighted third-grade math gains (including a 12-percentage-point increase in the “approaches” category and an 11-point rise in “masters” at Carol), third-grade reading improvements (14-point “meets” increase at Bowie, 17-point increase at Carol), and strong fourth-grade numbers at Bowie where staff said students exceeded state averages in meets and masters categories.
At middle school, staff reported an 8-point increase in seventh-grade English language arts “approaches, meets and masters,” while eighth-grade math showed declines consistent with statewide patterns. District staff attributed some science score shifts to changes in TEKS test specifications that moved certain standards between grade levels.
At the high school level, staff said English I, English II and algebra scores declined, while biology and U.S. history showed gains. The district described ongoing summer curriculum work, additional professional learning communities and assistance from Region 12 education service personnel who have been working with campuses over the summer.
District presenters noted the paper distributed at the meeting contained incorrect state and region percentages for one slide; staff provided correct statewide figures for context and apologized for the copy-and-paste error.
No board action was taken on the score presentations; staff described curricular and staffing steps planned for the coming year.

The proposed change, presented by district staff, says: “If a dual credit course listed as eligible for class-rank consideration does not provide an in-person professor, and is delivered strictly in an online format, it will not be counted as a core area course for the purpose of calculating class rank.”
Administrators said the intent is fairness: the district cited concerns about monitoring course rigor and integrity in fully online sections. The presenters named dual credit sociology and psychology as examples of courses that, when delivered strictly online, would be excluded from core-GPA consideration under the new clause.
Staff clarified the proposal would apply to students entering high school in 2024 or later and would not be applied retroactively to students who already completed those courses. The district said the classification of a dual credit course as a core subject (for example, sociology counted as a social studies course) is based on a crosswalk the district shares with Navarro College.
Board members asked how the change would be timed and which years of coursework it would affect. The presenter said the change would standardize future inclusion decisions so the district would not need to repeatedly amend policy language year to year.
The transcript does not record a formal motion or vote on the policy change at the meeting; the item was presented and discussed but not adopted according to the public record.

The board voted to approve Jessica Ward as principal at Bowie Elementary School, Weston Grounds as assistant principal at Collins Intermediate and Melinda Anderson as assistant principal at Corsicana High School.
The appointments were announced after the board recessed into closed session and then returned to open session for action. A trustee moved to approve Jessica Ward; a motion to approve Weston Grounds and a motion to approve Melinda Anderson were each seconded and put to a voice vote. The transcript records the board voice responses of “Aye,” and the chair declared the motions passed; no roll-call vote or dissenting votes are recorded in the public transcript.
Board action followed a closed-session discussion permitted by Texas Government Code Section 551.101, the statute cited by the board when it adjourned into executive session.
The district superintendent and trustees praised the hires and welcomed the administrators back to Corsicana ISD. No additional terms of employment, start dates, or personnel-file details were stated on the public record during the meeting.
The board took no further public action tied to those appointments at the meeting; the transcript does not show additional formal motions, roll-call votes, or salary specifics for the appointees.
