Waco ISD approves $700 one-time retention bonuses for paraprofessionals and auxiliary staff
Summary
The Waco ISD Board on Sept. 19 approved $700 one-time retention bonuses for eligible paraprofessionals and auxiliary personnel hired on or before Aug. 14, 2024, excluding temporary employees; the measure passed unanimously.
The Waco Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Sept. 19 to approve a one-time retention bonus of $700 for regularly employed paraprofessional staff (paygrades 201–209) and auxiliary staff (paygrades 302–311) who were hired on or before Aug. 14, 2024; temporary employees were excluded from the eligibility list.
Board members moved and seconded the recommendation from the administration, and the motion was approved 7-0. The administration presented the eligibility criteria and paygrade ranges during the meeting; the minutes record that the Board approved the measure without amendment. The decision is recorded as a one-time payment and does not specify ongoing funding beyond the fiscal-year context in the minutes.
The action followed a discussion of staffing and retention pressures in district personnel reports. The minutes do not specify the total budgetary cost or the timing for payment; those details were not included in the staff recommendation provided in the minutes and are listed as "not specified."
