Board approves 1.5% general pay increase and $50/month benefits contribution for 2026–27
Summary
After an administration recommendation, the board approved a compensation package for 2026–27 that includes a 1.5% general pay increase for all employees and an added $50/month district contribution toward benefits, with an estimated total budget impact of about $2.1 million.
The BRAZOSPORT ISD Board approved the administration’s recommended compensation package for 2026–27, which includes a 1.5% general pay increase across pay-grade midpoints and a $50 per month ($600 per year) increase in the district contribution toward employee benefits.
Jennifer Neighbors, who presented the recommendation to the board, said the package balances market competitiveness, employee retention and fiscal responsibility and follows a TASB market analysis and prior board compensation work. "The total estimated investment is approximately $2.1 million including both compensation adjustments and the increase in district benefit contributions," she said.
Under the proposal, teachers would receive average pay increases of about $1,100 plus an average $600 benefit contribution increase, while other staff would receive a 1.5% pay increase. Administrators told the board these changes are funded within the proposed 2026–27 budget and are designed to help retain employees without layoffs; staff noted prior staffing reductions were achieved through attrition and campus reconfigurations.
A motion to approve the compensation plan was moved by Mr. Reinhardt, seconded by Mr. Schulty and approved by voice vote.
