Sarkisian's base salary is $4.3 million, but his latest contract nets him an average $10.8 million a year without bonuses for championship wins and appearances, according to previous Chronicle reporting.

A Fort Bend ISD high schooler pleaded with board members as their mother waited outside in the car, unaware that she drove her child to a meeting about a highly contested gender policy. If approved, the student said, their teachers would be required to tell their parents that they identify as nonbinary. They believed they would be kicked out of the house with nowhere to go. "I'm incredibly scared," the student said at the Monday night meeting.
