Aide urges higher pay as Presidio ISD trustees approve one-time stipend
Summary
During Open Forum, Jocelyn Lopez told the board that aide salaries are not keeping up with the cost of living and requested higher salaries or larger bonuses; trustees approved a one-time $500 stipend later in the meeting but did not approve ongoing raises.
During the Open Forum portion of the Nov. 19 meeting, Jocelyn Lopez addressed trustees and said PISD aide salaries are not keeping up with the cost of living and the local economy. Lopez asked the board to consider higher salaries or larger bonuses for aides and support staff.
Later in the meeting trustees approved a one-time $500 stipend for all district employees to be distributed Dec. 11, 2025. The minutes do not record a direct board response to Lopez's specific request for higher ongoing salaries; the stipend was presented as recognition rather than a structural pay adjustment.
