Legislature Raises State Teachers’Pay
AUSTIN — As a result of late-hour
negotiations between key legislators on
the House and Senate Joint Conference
Committee on House Bill 4 and HJR 4
and members of the Texas State Teach-
ers Association, some 76,000 Texas
teachers will he guaranteed pay in-
creases next year.
The pay raises in the minimum sal-
ary schedule for teachers were included
in a tax relief package that will provide
a $10,000 increase in homestead ex-
emptions for local school property taxes
if voters support the exemptions in a
special election Saturday, Aug. 9.
This will allow voters a $15,000
school tax homestead exemption as
opposed to the current $5,000 exemp-
tion.
- The total pay package for teachers
raised the state minimum salary sched
ule by 6.5 percent over the biennium,
and will move beginning teacher pay
from a minimum of $19,950 to $21,050
next year. Including movement for an
additional year of experience, this
year’s beginning teacher will get an 8.3
percent or $1,670 raise next year.
Teachers at the top of the state mini-
mum will move from $35,510 to
$37,460. Teachers moving on to the top
step of the state schedule will get a
$2,460 increase.
Teachers who reside in districts that
already pay above the state minimum
salary schedule will be asking local
school boards to place some of the $700
million in new state money into sala-
ries in order to stay competitive in
teacher recruitment and retention. The
state is also providing school districts
with $ 1 billion to be set aside for prop-
erty tax relief.
Texas ranks 36th in national rankings
of teacher pay.
In addition to the salary increases,
TSTA was instrumental in improving
teacher retirement benefits, making it
possible for full retirement when age
and service numerically total 80.
