Jacksonville ISD: Employees to receive highest pay raise in district history
At the regular monthly meeting of the JISD Board of Trustees, Lindy Finley, associate superintendent of business and finance, outlined the newly proposed budget for 2019-2020. Within that budget, teachers with more than five years of teaching experience will receive a $7,500 pay raise starting in September, while teachers with less than five years will see a $7,000 increase, averaging a 16.76 percent pay increase per teacher, according to a release issued by Jacksonville ISD.
Additionally, “all JISD auxiliary and para-professional staff will enjoy a 10 percent raise of the midpoint of their pay grade, and administrators a seven percent increase of the mid-point of their pay grade.”
School leaders said without Texas House Bill 3, the raises would not be possible, the release noted.
According to Finley, "we were looking at a very different scenario before HB3 passed. I can honestly say that this has been the most fun I've had when setting the budget, as I'm usually looking for things to cut and not things to add!"
