The NES teachers will be working in the 28 schools deemed priority campuses. Many teachers were concerned because they didn’t know their salary until a day after their resignation deadline. By state law, teachers must announce their resignations 45 days before the first day of school or face certification penalties.
Superintendent Miles started the meeting by talking about salary confusion. He said he was made aware of the issue during last Thursday’s meeting when an NES teacher explained she had a contract but no salary offer. He said he instructed his team to fix the problem and to get the salary amounts out within 24 hours. According to the Houston Education Association, some of its members were upset to learn their salary offers were much lower than anticipated.Miles said teachers were always told the average NES salary would be $85,000. The salaries are based on the subject the teacher teaches and their experience. For example, math and science teachers make more than P.E. and elective teachers.
