Austin ISD's board approved at least a 7% raise for teachers, counselors, librarians, instructional coaches and certain special education positions.
Several speech-language pathologists called in to leave public comments for the board Thursday. They expressed frustration with the gulf between their raises and those of LSSPs and educational diagnosticians, especially as they’ve taken on additional responsibilities amid staffing shortages. SLPs are set to receive the $7,000 stipend and at least a 7% raise.
District officials and school board members had also been hopeful that the Texas Legislature would raise funding for public education and teachers this year. But with just over a week left in the 88th legislative session, it appears any bills to increase public school funding will fall short of both expectations and inflation.That was on AISD School Board President Arati Singh’s mind ahead of the vote on the compensation package.
She said taking on a budget deficit, without the promise of more state funding for public education, could compel the district to tighten its belt in the years ahead.
