Duncanville to prioritize principal pay as TASB study informs broader compensation changes

Board of Trustees, Duncanville ISD · April 6, 2026

Summary

District leaders said staffing and compensation — currently about 84% of operating costs — will be informed by a TASB study; the board may consider principal pay increases to retain leadership while balancing an ongoing deficit.

The budget workshop highlighted staffing and compensation as central to the district’s budget planning.

CFO Shonna Pumphrey said staffing represents roughly 84% of the district’s budget and that the district is working with TASB on a compensation study to align positions and pay with strategic goals. Pumphrey told trustees to expect proposals focused on principal pay to maintain strong campus leadership. Superintendent Dr. T. Lamar Goree reiterated the board’s prior actions to raise teacher pay and said leadership compensation is a current priority.

Trustees asked for more detailed staffing-level and compensation data to be available at the May workshops. Pumphrey said HR will finalize staffing plans in May and return recommendations to the board.
