Austin school district employees to receive minimum 6% boost in pay
Austin school district teachers, counselors and librarians who have more than five years of experience will get a 7% bump in pay starting in August, and all other employees will receive 6% across-the-board raises. All told, it’s thought to be the district’s largest single-year compensation increase.
Beyond the 6% raise, bilingual teachers will receive an additional $1,000, bringing their annual stipends to $3,500. Special education teachers will receive an additional $500, bringing their yearly stipends to $1,500.
Tenured bus drivers, administrative assistants and some other hourly employees in the district will see pay increases beyond the 6% hike.
Details about the pay increases were announced Thursday at Govalle Elementary School in East Austin during a media briefing involving school district officials and Education Austin leaders.
