Royal ISD board approves updated auxiliary and paraprofessional pay plans
Summary
Royal ISD trustees unanimously approved updated 2026-27 auxiliary and paraprofessional pay plans, with trustees urging additional high school monitors and comparison of neighboring districts' pay scales to bolster recruitment.
The Royal Independent School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved updated auxiliary and paraprofessional pay plans for the 2026-27 school year at its June 29 meeting.
Trustee Elton Foster pressed for more high school monitors and better camera coverage, saying the district "are in need of the high school monitors and agrees that we need more eyes." Dr. Pape told the board that "RISD has raised the scales across the board," and Lt. Dalton Williams said the district "offers competitive pay and that he believes the District is in a good spot to compete." The motion to approve the plan was made by Melissa Woods and seconded by Cori Vahalik; all voting trustees recorded yea.
The board discussion included a request from Foster that district staff gather comparative pay-scale information from neighboring districts to support ongoing recruitment. The board recorded the approval as a formal motion, and trustees indicated support for continued recruitment efforts tied to the updated pay scales.
