Riviera ISD reallocates athletics stipends to add assistant coach and align pay
Summary
Trustees approved amendments to athletics stipends for 2025–26 that reallocate savings to add an assistant football coach and increase stipends for cross-country and golf to align with comparable roles.
The Riviera ISD Board approved revised athletics stipend allocations for the 2025–26 school year to better align pay and staffing across sports.
Trustees accepted changes that reduced the number of coaches receiving $1,500 summer-workout stipends from eight to six and increased those stipends to $2,000, deleted the boys and girls coordinator positions (reallocating funds to add an assistant football coach), increased the cross-country head coach stipend from $5,000 to $5,250, and raised golf from $3,000 to $3,500 to match tennis. Trustee Teresa May moved the motion and it passed unanimously.
Administrators said the changes aim to streamline stipend structure, ensure comparability across sports, and fund an additional assistant coach position where needed. The motion directs payroll and athletics administration to implement the stipend changes for the 2025–26 pay schedule.
