Houston ISD mulls teacher pay bumps
Proposed pay bumps
Minimum wage (hourly)
Base salary, all non-NES teachers
Houston ISD officials revealed plans March 5 to increase the salaries and wages for several employees next school year as part of the district’s new compensation plan. The breakdown Officials said teacher salaries at New Education System schools, which are part of Superinten- dent Mike Miles’ district reform initiative, will largely remain the same. Teachers at NES schools make roughly $10,000-$20,000 more per year than their counterparts at non-NES schools. The average NES high school teacher salary with up to two years of experience is $82,780. The plan shows salaries for teachers with 0-2 years of experience staying largely the same at middle and high schools within the NES. Teachers with 0-2 years of experience at NES elementary schools will see slight increases in pay, depending on the position.
According to the plan, the district plans to increase minimum base salaries for teachers at non-NES schools from $61,500 to $64,000 and bump the minimum hourly wage for all employ- ees up to $15. Depending on the grade level taught, new teachers at non-NES schools will make between $64,000-$77,690. Keep in mind Next year, there will be 130 NES schools. Changes implemented at NES campuses include centralized schedules, district-approved class- room instruction and lessons, and additional staff who handle a variety of tasks outside the classroom. What’s next The board of managers will consider the new compensation plan when managers consider approving the budget in June.
