Pasadena ISD board approves raising CFO pay grade to A09 to aid recruitment
Summary
The Pasadena ISD Board of Trustees approved raising the chief financial officer pay grade from A08 to A09, effective Aug. 1, 2026, after the superintendent said the prior salary structure hampered recruitment following a recent resignation.
The Pasadena Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to raise the chief financial officer position from pay grade A08 to A09, effective Aug. 1, 2026. The motion was moved by Trustee Marshall Kendrick and seconded by Trustee Kenny Fernandez; the board called the question and the motion carried.
Superintendent Dr. Lopez told trustees the adjustment was prompted by the recent resignation of the district’s CFO and a finding that the current salary structure “was not competitive for this regional market.” He said the change is intended to “better position us to recruit and retain a strong financial leader who will continue to support responsible stewardship of our district resources.”
Trustees asked clarifying questions about whether the pay-grade change applied to a new hire and whether it aligned with neighboring districts; Dr. Lopez confirmed it is for a new hire and stated the level is comparable to other districts in the area. The board did not read a roll-call tally on the record when the pay-grade motion passed.
The pay-grade adjustment will take effect Aug. 1, 2026. The board did not discuss a specific salary amount on the public record during this meeting. The district will proceed with recruitment under the revised pay grade.
