Cuts to Burnet coaches’ stipends will be less painful

BURNET — Though coaches at Burnet school district campuses will see reduced stipends this year in an effort to control the budget, the cuts aren’t as deep as first feared.

“It’s one of those deals where I wish we could have done more,” said Andy Feild, the president of the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District board.

Stipends are the extra money beyond the teaching pay coaches receive for extracurricular duties.
