Board unanimously approves superintendent contract extension and 7% pay increase
Summary
The Port Neches-Groves ISD Board voted 5-0 to extend Superintendent Dr. Gonzales' contract and approve a 7% raise to an annual salary of $224,259.16; the motion's written dates in the record appear inconsistent with the stated one-year extension.
The Port Neches-Groves ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously Sept. 8 to extend Superintendent Dr. Gonzales' employment and grant a 7% salary increase, raising his stated annual pay to $224,259.16. President Brandon Cropper moved the action after the board reconvened from closed session; Trustee Scott Bartlett seconded the motion and the vote was recorded as 5-0.
The motion, as recorded in the minutes, says the extension is "for one year, commencing July 1, 2025 and ending June 20, 2028," language that is inconsistent with a one-year extension. The minutes note the board approved the motion but do not clarify the apparent discrepancy in term length. The closed session was held under Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code (551.074 Personnel) for the superintendent's summative evaluation, after which the board took the contract action in open session.
