Splendora ISD adopts 2025–26 budget, approves compensation plan and health-insurance increase
Summary
The Splendora ISD Board of Trustees on June 16 adopted the district's 2025'1026 budget, approved a compensation plan tied to House Bill 2, a 3% cost-of-living midpoint increase for eligible employees, approved stipends, and raised the district's monthly health-insurance contribution by $30.
The Splendora Independent School District Board of Trustees approved the district's 2025'1026 budget and several employee compensation measures during its June 16 regular meeting. The board's actions included adopting a compensation plan that incorporates the teacher retention provisions of House Bill 2, a 3% cost-of-living adjustment to the midpoint for eligible employees, approval of the 2025'1026 stipend schedule, and an increase in the district's monthly health-insurance contribution by $30.
Why it matters: The budget and compensation decisions set pay and benefits for district staff for the coming school year and implement state-directed teacher-retention funding cited in the board's approval.
At the meeting, Allen Wells, president of the Splendora ISD Board of Trustees, moved adoption of the compensation plan; Vice President Dan Muirhead seconded the motion. The board recorded a vote of five in favor, none opposed, and the motion passed. The compensation action explicitly references adoption of the teacher retention plan in House Bill 2 and a separate 3% cost-of-living adjustment on the midpoint for employees not included in the retention plan.
Jennifer Stewart moved approval of the district's proposed budget for 2025'1026; Kim Klepcyk seconded. The motion to approve the 2025'1026 budget as presented passed 5'0. The board also approved the 2025'1026 stipend schedule after a motion by Stewart, seconded by Klepcyk; that motion passed 5'0.
On employer benefits, Stewart moved and Klepcyk seconded approval to increase the district's monthly contribution toward employee health insurance by $30, bringing the district contribution to $255 per employee per month. The board's motion noted that, combined with a contribution from the Texas Education Agency, the combined monthly contribution would total $330 per employee per month. That motion passed 5'0.
The board held a public hearing on the proposed 2025'1026 budget earlier in the meeting; Reese Briggs presented the budget and there were no questions or public comments during that hearing.
Decisions taken at the meeting are final board actions recorded in the minutes; no subsequent conditions or contingencies were listed in the motions as presented to the board.
