Riviera ISD board approves increase to non-coaching event pay, asks staff to limit events per coach
Summary
Trustees approved non-coaching stipends for 2025–2026, preserving $200 for a coach's first event and raising pay for subsequent events from $50 to $100; trustees asked staff to propose any cap on events for budgeting.
The Riviera ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously (5–0, one absent) Sept. 24 to approve the district's non-coaching stipends for the 2025–2026 school year. Becky Gutierrez moved and Crystal Ramirez-Garcia seconded the motion; the motion was recorded as: "I make a motion to approve the non-coaching stipends for the 2025-2026 school year as presented."
Board members discussed specific stipend structure: keeping $200 for a coach's first event and increasing compensation for subsequent events from $50 to $100. Trustees raised questions about whether a maximum number of events per coach should be set; the Board directed staff to incorporate any limits into a forthcoming budget amendment.
The change was tied directly to the budget work on the same agenda. Superintendent Jolynn Moreno told the board that the budget amendment submitted for approval reflected only the stipend-related adjustments discussed at the meeting.
