Clear Creek ISD approves $18M compensation package for employees
What’s next
Looking ahead, the district will continue to discuss its FY 2025-26 budget. As of its discussion July 14, the district is projecting a $13.5 million shortfall for FY 2025-26, Community Impact previously reported. This shortfall is also projected with a tax rate of $0.9690 per $100 valuation of a home—the same rate that was approved last year, budget documents note. Officials met to discuss the budget further Aug. 11. However, updated information out of that meeting was unavailable as of press time. Two more meetings are planned to discuss the budget and tax rate further.
$1,875 increase $2,500 increase $5,000 increase
All Clear Creek ISD employees—including teachers, librarians, nurses and instructional coaches—will receive a salary increase for fiscal year 2025-26 after the board of trustees approved a new compensation plan at its July 28 meeting. Much of the compensation increase will be funded through House Bill 2, which passed in early June during the 89th Texas Legislature. Among $8.4 billion in funding, it provides permanent raises for educators and support staff. Those raises are based on the number of years of experience a teacher has, according to the bill. The district will also receive about $1.4 million from HB 2 for the support staff retention allotment, documents show.
for teachers with 1-2 years of experience
for teachers with 3-4 years of experience for teachers with 5+ years of experience
$64,000 new starting teacher salary
a $2,500 increase from the 2024-25 starting teacher salary
3% increase for all other employees
$18M in cost with state covering $12M
Upcoming dates
Aug. 25: budget hearing and adoption of budget for FY 2025-26 Sept. 22: adopt 2025 tax rate

HERS stands for Home Energy Rating System. It’s a standardized system used to measure a home’s energy efficiency. A lower HERS score indicates a more energy-efficient home. HERS is like a home’s MPG label. A lower HERS score means lower energy bills and a smaller environmental footprint. Our average gross HERS score in 2023 was 42. To confirm our position as the #1 energy efficient homebuilder in the US, we looked at the publicly reported average HERS scores during June 2025 for each of the top 30 homebuilders in the US (based on how many houses they sold in 2024) as determined by Builder Magazine’s list https://www.builderonline.com/builder-100/builder-100-list/2025/ accessed on June 6, 2025. Beazer Homes reports our average gross HERS score i.e. without including solar power savings. We don’t know for sure if the other builders report their energy efficiency scores (HERS scores) with or without including solar power savings.
