Silsbee ISD sets tiered payouts up to $10,000 for long-serving certified staff
Summary
Under the resolution, Chapter 21 contract employees are eligible for tiered lump-sum early-resignation payments that rise with years of service (0–3: $3,500; 4–8: $4,500; 9–15: $5,500; 16–21: $8,000; 22+: $10,000); campus-level quotas determine how many employees may receive payments.
The resolution establishes fixed lump-sum amounts for Chapter 21 contract employees based on consecutive years of employment with Silsbee ISD: $3,500 for 0–3 years; $4,500 for 4–8 years; $5,500 for 9–15 years; $8,000 for 16–21 years; and $10,000 for 22 or more years. The document assigns the first eligible slot at each campus role (for example, certified administrators or counselors) to receive the program payment if they meet the submission deadlines.
The resolution language lists the five-tier payment schedule and campus-eligibility rules. It specifies: "Years Amount 0-3 $3,500 4-8 $4,500 9-15 $5,500 16-21 $8,000 22+ $10,000" and then explains the qualifying roles and the requirement that resignations be submitted to the superintendent and HR director by Feb. 19, 2026, no later than 5:00 p.m.
