Salary increases for public educators continue to spread through San Antonio school districts.
On June 15, The East Central ISD Board of Trustees approved a new salary package for the 2023-2024 school year which includes a $1,500 increase for ECISD’s base teacher salary, bringing it up to $57,500 annually.
The new package means education professionals such as teachers, nurses, librarians, academic and program facilitators and instructional specialists will experience a 3% growth in their annual salaries, according to district officials. Meanwhile, administrators, paraprofessionals and auxiliary staff will have a 3% hike based on the midpoint of their pay range.
East Central ISD also is increasing the signing bonus to $3,000 for high-demand areas including bilingual education, secondary math and science, speech pathology, LSSP special education and occupational and physical therapy.
While Texas’ Republican-controlled Legislature didn’t vote for a comprehensive compensation package for public school teachers, ECISD said that the salary increase was made possible from within the district’s budget. Subscribe to SA Current newsletters.
