Dallas ISD Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde has been very vocal on Twitter about lawmakers not committing funding to teacher pay raises. She says while the school board just approved raises locally, it’s not enough.
Dallas ISD has approved a $2 billion budget that would include a pay boost for some of its employees.
School vouchers consumed the education debate in Austin, and still there’s been no progress on raises or vouchers. "With our teachers and principals, those are on a pay-for-performance. So it’ll be a percentage of where their pay scales are. But roughly a 3.3% increase for our teachers. Some will be above. Some will be below that," Elizalde said.
"Our food service employees, our custodians, our transportation employees, as we all know those hourly employees tend to be at the bottom of pay scales. Those individuals are getting an average of 6% increases," Elizalde said.
