Lake Dallas ISD reviews HB 2 changes on teacher pay, support staff allotments and school safety funding
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Kristen Brown summarized provisions of House Bill 2 and related 2025 legislation, including teacher retention allotments, a $4,000–$8,000 state teacher pay boost, a $45-per-ADA support-staff allotment, and new reporting and program requirements from the Texas Education Agency.
Lake Dallas Independent School District officials on June 16 reviewed major changes in state education law, focusing on House Bill 2 and related allotments that take effect over the next two school years.
Dr. Kristen Brown told the board HB 2 "has already been signed by the governor. That is the biggest bill for this session," and said the district is preparing to apply for the teacher incentive allotment and other new funding streams. The district is pursuing initial approval for the teacher incentive allotment so it can later access what the Texas Education Agency calls the "enhanced TIA," which will allow performance-based pay and some principal compensation from that allotment.
Why it matters: HB 2 changes how state funding reaches districts and creates new reporting and program obligations. Lake Dallas ISD staff said some new funding will be available in 2025–26 and more will phase in during 2026–27, affecting payroll planning, curriculum and special education compliance.
