Brenham ISD Board Meeting 7-6-2026 Noon Board Meeting

The Brenham ISD Board held a budget workshop on July 6, 2026, focusing primarily on the district's compensation plan and budget strategy for the upcoming fiscal year. Discussions centered on staff compensation, including a proposed 3% cost-of-living raise for all employees, adjustments to pay scales to remain competitive with regional districts, and the challenge of balancing raises with restoring the district's fund balance. The board reviewed market salary comparisons, the impact of state funding on teacher raises, and the need to right-size certain administrative positions' workdays without reducing pay. The district aims to maintain a balanced approach by restoring approximately one million dollars annually to the fund balance over the next five years while providing competitive compensation to retain staff. The board was informed that final budget adoption and compensation plan approval are scheduled for upcoming meetings in July and August 2026. No formal votes were taken during this workshop; it served as an informational session to guide future budget decisions.
