Clovis board adopts balanced salary scenario, estimating 1.08% district-wide increase

The Clovis Municipal Schools Board on the evening it adopted a revised salary schedule described as a balanced approach and recommended by administration.

Administration presented three scenarios for salary adjustments; staff recommended scenario three as the more balanced option between modest raises and budget sustainability. The presentation noted a district-wide estimated increase of 1.08 percent under scenario three.

A motion to accept scenario three was made and seconded; the board took a roll call and the motion carried. President Cordova and Vice President Hamilton voted in favor, Member Osborne and Member Wiggle recorded votes in favor; the transcript does not record Secretary Martin's response in the roll call. The board did not adopt the larger, less sustainable scenario that was also discussed.

Board members praised the increment structure that rewards additional duties and noted that allocations must account for required program-specific funding (special education, Pre-K, at-risk, English learner funding). Administration said it will implement the new schedule and follow up with additional details on eligibility and allocation.

What happens next: management will finalize implementation details and report back to the board on allocations and timelines.
