PISD teachers, staff to see pay increases The Prosper ISD board unanimously approved a pay raise for teachers and staff for 2025-26 during a June 13 meeting.

The pay increase is only for teachers with three or more years of experience: • $2,500 increase for teachers with 3-4 years experience • $5,000 increase for teachers with 5+ years experience The bill did not allocate funds to increase the salaries of other staff.
