2009-10 State minimum salary schedule |
The Texas Education Code establishes a state minimum salary schedule that must be implemented by Texas public school districts for specific public education professionals–Texas classroom teachers, full-time librarians, full-time counselors and full-time school nurses (RNs only). There is no state minimum salary for any other position.
An increase to the salary schedule was approved in 2009 that will be based on the equivalent of $60 per weighted student distributed equally among eligible district personnel. The annual average across the state is expected to be around $1,000, with no employee receiving less than $800. This required salary increase is contingent on approval of the U.S. Department of Education and the Texas Commissioner of Education; otherwise, any salary increase will be determined solely by local school boards, subject to the minimum salary schedule. Most school districts pay more than the state minimum salary schedule; contact your district’s human resources department to view a copy of your local salary schedule.
The following chart shows the state minimum for the 2009-10 school year as prepared by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). It does not include the salary increase approved in the 2009 legislative session. Visit TEA’s website for the latest information.
