Port Neches-Groves ISD Board OKs $25,000-a-year performance stipends for superintendent and deputy
Summary
The Board approved monthly performance stipends of $2,083.33 (not to exceed $25,000 annually) for both the superintendent and deputy superintendent, citing extra duties including bond oversight and stating the stipends will not increase the district's tax rate.
The Port Neches-Groves ISD Board of Trustees on June 15 approved identical performance stipends for the superintendent and the deputy superintendent, each equal to $2,083.33 per month, not to exceed $25,000 a year.
Board members said the stipends recognize leadership and extra administrative duties tied to bond oversight, and that the payments will be evaluated every 12 months. Trustees also noted the stipends are intended to fund districtwide improvements "without increasing the district's tax rate." The motion for the superintendent stipend was made by Brandon Cropper and seconded by Eric Sullivan; the deputy superintendent stipend was moved by Scott Bartlett and seconded by Jake Lefort. Both motions passed unanimously, recorded as Yea: 7, Nay: 0.
The motions followed a closed-session discussion about personnel and bond-related responsibilities conducted under Texas Government Code provisions. The board did not specify changes to base salary; the approved items were described as performance stipends subject to annual review. The board's action authorizes district payroll to issue the stipends according to the terms approved by the trustees.
