Board debates teacher salaries and funding limits
The board discussed referendum impact on state school systems and ruled salary increases could not occur without affecting curriculum. Charles Orum voiced frustration but agreed funds were limited. The district will pay teachers the higher of their current pay or the state base, which rose 5.5 percent this year. The group also awarded American State Bank a two year depository contract after bidding.

Brownfield Board Approves Surveys and Incentives
The Brownfield ISD board notes .36 inch of Saturday rainfall bringing June total to 2.47 inches and year-to-date moisture at 10.91 inches, slightly above normal. They approved a one year voluntary retirement incentive for teachers, with eligibility rules and a lump sum 12 percent of salary, while abstaining votes from two members due to conflicts. They also authorized an anonymous faculty survey and praised BIIC attendance and graduation progress. Resignations of four teachers were approved and new hires in arts, cosmetology, and choir were announced.
