Center ISD tables pay raises and rate compression pending state action
Summary
Center ISD trustees postponed decisions on pay raises, compressing pay rates and pay for non‑certified staff, citing pending state legislation (HB 2) and a need for further staff analysis; the board unanimously tabled related agenda items.
Center Independent School District trustees voted May 8 to postpone decisions on several compensation items after Superintendent Dr. Brian Morris said pending state legislation could affect district actions.
Dr. Morris told the board there is a House bill (HB 2) that has passed the House and is heading to the Senate; he recommended tabling pay raises until the district has more information. Trustee Casey Lout made the motion to table the pay raises and the motion carried 6-0. The board also tabled agenda items on compressing pay rates and pay for non‑certified staff to allow staff to provide additional information.
Board discussion noted that the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) plans to compress rates for salaried personnel, aides and clerical staff, and that the district was advised not to compress rates for maintenance, custodial or bus drivers. Human Resources Director Holly Mikesh supplied information specific to bus drivers classified as dual employees.
The board did not adopt any compensation changes at the meeting. Trustees directed staff to return with updated information once the district has clarity about HB 2 and TASB guidance.
