Sheldon ISD employee urges board to document summer escrow deductions and consider raises for transportation staff
Summary
A district employee told trustees escrow deductions taken over the summer are not documented and urged the board to consider raises for transportation staff for 2024–25, citing rising cost of living and staff hardship; the board acknowledged the comment.
During the public-comment portion, a Sheldon ISD employee who said they have worked about 10 years in the district asked the board for help documenting summer payroll escrow deductions and urged trustees to consider a pay increase for transportation staff for the 2024–25 year.
"The escrow that is taken out over the summer is not documented," the employee said, asking the board to help resolve the situation so employees have records of payroll deductions. The employee added that many transportation staff are struggling with the rising cost of living and requested the board "consider approving a raise for us because, the cost of living is just constantly going up."
Board and staff acknowledged the comment; administrators did not give a decision on documenting escrow deductions or committing to a wage increase during the recorded segments. The transcript does not contain a formal response or a timeline for follow-up in the provided excerpts.
