Brownfield ISD board approves consent agenda and raises custodial starting pay
Summary
The Brownfield ISD Board approved the consent agenda and a modification to the compensation manual that raises custodial starting pay and reclassifies middle‑school counselors into the high‑school counselor category. The motion passed on voice vote.
The Brownfield ISD Board of Trustees approved the consent agenda and a modification to the district compensation manual at its regular meeting.
Superintendent (speaker 3) told trustees the change was aimed at staffing hard-to-fill positions: "Last month, we approved the compensation manual, and after evaluating our vacancies ... we wanted to take action to, correct that now." The superintendent described a change to the starting custodial pay from $9.80 to $11.00 and said the move affected salaries across the custodial group; he also said middle‑school counselors were being moved into the same pay category as high‑school counselors to reflect longer contracts.
A motion to approve the compensation changes was moved by Matt Maldonado and seconded by Tim Swearingen; Chair announced the motion and called for the voice vote. "All those in favor, say aye," the Chair said; the motion carried. The consent agenda was approved earlier in the meeting after a motion moved by Captain Dawson and seconded by Tim Schwerin.
The superintendent characterized the compensation adjustments as targeted corrections to help close position vacancies; no detailed payroll schedule or effective date was provided in the meeting packet or on the record.
