Royse City ISD presents compensation scenarios and benefit proposals including telehealth and pay increases
Summary
Administration proposed three pay scenarios (3% midpoint, 2% midpoint, or no raises), a district-funded telehealth benefit (~$90,000/year), substitute-pay increases ($10 per level; $5 for paraprofessionals), and a possible one-time $1,000 loyalty incentive if enrollment grows.
District staff presented a range of compensation and benefits proposals for board consideration. Administration described three scenarios: a best-case 3% midpoint raise (estimated cost about $2,500,000), a 2% midpoint raise (about $1,700,000) and a balanced-budget option that would not provide raises or add positions.
Ms. Valines discussed benefits options and recruiting strategies, saying the district had worked with carriers to reduce supplemental insurance rates and that a district-funded telehealth benefit would cost "approximately $90,000 annually." She also proposed increasing substitute pay by $10 at every level and $5 for paraprofessional substitutes to improve classroom coverage; administrators suggested raising the starting teacher hire scale to $62,000 and discussed a possible one-time $1,000 loyalty incentive if enrollment increases after the snapshot date.
Board members asked for additional benchmarking with neighboring districts and for staff to return with refined cost estimates when preliminary property values are available at the next workshop.
