Spring ISD The board of trustees approved pay increases June 9 for the 2015-16 school year for teachers, crossing guards and bus drivers to provide competitive salaries to help attract and retain employees.
First-year teachers will receive a $51,500 salary, a $3,000 increase from last year, while all other teachers will receive a proportional $3,260 increase in salary, or a 6 percent raise, district officials said. Bus drivers will see their hourly wage increase by $1.25 to $15.05 per hour while crossing guards can expect a $2 raise to $12 per hour.
“Our staff —especially our teachers, bus drivers and crossing guards— interact with our students every single day,” SISD Superintendent Rodney Watson said. “The work these staff members do is important, and I want to ensure that they are compensated at a level that is appropriate.”
The board has also approved several facility changes in recent months.
