Board approves adjustment to Superintendent David Howle’s compensation in 3-2 vote
Summary
The Cleburne County Board of Education approved a recommendation to adjust Superintendent David Howle’s compensation in accordance with his employment contract on Nov. 19, 2025. The motion passed 3–2; the minutes do not specify the amount or effective date.
Board President Jay Grubbs recommended an adjustment to Superintendent David Howle’s compensation during the Nov. 19, 2025 special-called meeting of the Cleburne County Board of Education. Grubbs framed the recommendation as being “in accordance with the provisions outlined in his employment contract,” according to the meeting minutes.
Jay Grubbs moved the motion to approve the compensation adjustment; Chad Smith seconded. The board approved the motion on a 3–2 vote: Jay Grubbs, Owen McWhorter and Chad Smith voted yes; Jerimy Bryant and Tracy McMahan voted no. The minutes record the motion and the vote but do not provide a dollar amount, percentage change, or an effective date for the adjustment.
The minutes therefore reflect a formal board action approving the recommended compensation change, but they do not include details about the scale or timing of the adjustment. The board’s action cites the superintendent’s employment contract as the authority for the change.
