Austin ISD is aiming to offer teachers as much as a 7% raise next school year — significantly higher than what it offered for the current year.
Austin ISD school counselor Kelli Kirk holds a sign during an Education Austin rally for higher wages on Thursday.
“We wanted to make sure that employees and the board of trustees had this information sooner than later, so that you could see where we were with our budget,” he said.All three of the compensation plans could lead to a budget deficit for the district, but Ramos pointed out AISD will likely end the current year with a $7 million surplus. He said the district had a $31.6 million surplus at the end of the 2021-2022 school year.
In each of the three plans, some of the salary increases are based on the midpoint of the pay scale for that position. “It’s a huge concern — retention and recruitment of teachers. It impacts the kids on a daily basis and us as coworkers,” she said. Zarifis said his group prioritized increases for certified employees. The $4 per hour raise the district has proposed for them amounts to a 25% increase in the base pay, which is currently $16.
