The raise will depend on action by the state of Texas, voters within the district, and the PISD school board.
With Pearland ISD employees already set to receive a pay raise, another could be on the way. However, it will depend on action by the state of Texas, voters within the district, and the PISD school board.
To trigger a VATRE, the district would have to approve a tax rate above the maximum rate set by the state of Texas. PISD trustees will decide whether or not to do this in August, and, if necessary, a VATRE would be held in November. Superintendent Larry Berger said at the June 23 meeting the potential increases, in addition to the 2% already approved, could include:2% general pay increase, plus equity, for all other employees
Board President Sean Murphy was worried about the cost, noting that with a pay increase, it could bring the district close to the same shortfall they are in now, even with a VATRE.
