Presidio ISD board approves one‑time stipends for lower‑paid support staff
Summary
The Presidio ISD Board approved a one‑time stipend for full‑time district staff earning less than $150.00 per day: two $750 checks to be distributed in January and May 2026, covering 106 employees identified in a district living‑wage analysis.
The Presidio Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Dec. 17 to provide a one‑time stipend to lower‑paid full‑time district staff.
Board member Marco Lujan moved to "approve a one-time stipend for full-time district staff making less than $150.00/day," with the payments split into two $750 checks to be paid in January and May 2026. Maria Loyola Montoya seconded the motion; the board carried it 7‑0. The district estimates 106 employees will be eligible under the criteria used by staff.
The action followed a presentation at the Nov. 19 meeting and subsequent calculations by Superintendent Carmen Rubner comparing staff salaries to living‑wage scenarios for single adults and two‑adult families with children. The stipend was described as a one‑time adjustment rather than a base‑pay change. The board did not adopt an ongoing salary schedule change at this meeting.
Support staff job categories named in meeting materials included custodial staff, instructional aides, maintenance, transportation, nurse assistants, cafeteria staff and office staff. The district said checks will be issued to full‑time employees whose daily rate is below the stated $150 threshold in the two scheduled payments.
