CENTERVILLE — The Centerville ISD School Board is loosening the purse strings a bit, just in time for the next school year.

Superintendent Mark Brown said the board approved a new teacher salary schedule at its regular meeting on June 17.

Brown said the board OK’d the measure, one that extends the pay scale from 20 years to 25 years, and gives a 2 percent increase across the scale.

In other business, the board:

• discussed new updates to school policies based on recommendations from the Texas Association of School Boards. No action was taken, as it was only an initial hearing, Brown said; and
• approved the hiring of Cheryl Sterret as a math teacher for the elementary school.

The Centerville ISD School Board meets the third Thursday of the month, changing the meeting date from the third Monday, at 7 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for July 15.
