Center ISD tables pay raises and related compensation changes pending state action on HB 2
Summary
Trustees postponed decisions on employee pay raises, pay-rate compression and non-certified staff pay, citing pending state legislation (HB 2) and a recommendation to avoid premature action until the House-to-Senate bill status is clear.
The Center Independent School District Board on May 8 postponed decisions on multiple compensation items — including proposed pay raises, compressing pay rates and pay for non-certified staff — citing pending state legislation.
Superintendent Dr. Brian Morris told trustees that a bill identified in the minutes as "HB 2" had passed the Texas House and was moving to the Senate, and that acting on raises now could require revisiting the decisions later. "There is a bill (HB 2) that has been passed by the House and is heading to the Senate and we should know something next week," he said. Trustees voted to table the pay raises (motion by Casey Lout; second by Gregg Hubbard), and later took similar action to table the compression and non-certified pay items pending additional information.
Board discussion noted that TASB guidance was expected for compressing rates for salaried personnel, aides and clerical staff; the minutes record a recommendation not to compress rates for maintenance, custodial or bus drivers. Administrative staff will return to the Board with additional details when state guidance or legislative outcomes are available.
