Midway ISD superintendent announces 2% staff pay increase, cites nearly $2 million in teacher incentives
Summary
Superintendent Chris Allen said the district will issue a 2% general pay increase for all staff, highlighted that 233 teachers earned nearly $2,000,000 through the teacher incentive allotment, and said bond-funded campus work will begin over the summer.
Superintendent Chris Allen said the Midway Independent School District will provide a 2% general pay increase for all staff and highlighted teacher incentive payments earned this year.
"There will be a 2% general pay increase for all of our staff," Allen said, adding that "we have 233 teachers earning almost $2,000,000 of additional compensation through the teacher incentive allotment." He attributed those results to district supports, including coaching cycles that help teachers improve classroom practice.
Allen said the district has the data showing that those supports translate into student growth and learning. "Student growth and student learning, and we've got all the data to back that up," he said, and he praised both the teaching staff and the teaching and learning department for their work.
The superintendent also said work tied to the district's bond program "around our campuses and at the high school" will begin during the summer. Allen described this as implementation of promises made to the community during the bond campaign and framed it as facility improvements starting in the coming months.
No formal vote or motion text was given in the recording; Allen presented these items as outcomes of the May board meeting and directed listeners to district communications for more detail and formal documentation of board actions.
