Raymondville ISD reviews 3% compensation increase and raises starting pay for frontline roles
Summary
Board reviewed a proposed 3% compensation increase costing about $1.404 million overall and specific starting-pay increases for aides, custodians, food service, police officers and bus drivers.
District staff presented a proposed 3% compensation increase at the June 9 budget workshop, with the TASB pay-equity study to be included in the June special board meeting for approval.
CFO David Longoria said the 3% increase equates to $1,404,049 in total cost, of which $1,088,754 is attributed to SB2-mandated increases and produces a net district cost of $315,295. Staff also proposed starting-pay increases: aides from $11.57 to $12.25 per hour; custodians and food-service cooks from $10.86 to $12.00 per hour; police officers from $20.82 to $22.00 per hour; and bus drivers from $16.74 to $18.00 per hour.
The presentation framed the increases as a combination of mandated adjustments and market-based equity steps to retain employees and ensure current staff earn pay comparable to incoming hires. The board heard the informational presentation; no motion on compensation was recorded at the workshop.
