Chisum ISD approves pay increases for non-HB2 staff after closed session
Summary
Following a closed-session discussion, the Chisum ISD board approved pay increases/scales for paraprofessionals, cafeteria staff, secretaries, custodial staff and professional staff not covered by House Bill 2; the minutes do not specify amounts or effective dates.
The Chisum ISD Board of Trustees entered closed session at 6:53 p.m. on July 31, 2025 to discuss pay increases and returned to open session at 7:14 p.m., after which trustees approved pay increases/scales for several employee groups not included in House Bill 2 legislative increases.
The motion approving the pay adjustments was made by Travis Ball and seconded by Judd Oats and carried with four trustees voting 'For' (Travis Ball, Judd Oats, Matt Patterson and Larry Rickman). Trustees James Weems, Craig Burns and Dashielle Floyd were recorded as absent. The minutes state only that pay increases/scales were approved; they do not list dollar amounts, percentage increases, effective dates, or which department will implement the changes.
Why it matters: the approved action affects compensation for paraprofessionals, cafeteria staff, secretaries, custodians and professional staff whose pay is not governed by House Bill 2. The lack of detail in the minutes means staff and the public will need follow-up from district administration for implementation timelines, budget impacts and payroll changes.
The minutes reference House Bill 2 as the legislative baseline for some pay decisions but provide no additional legal citations or budget figures.
