Waco ISD board approves $600 teacher pay bump, adds and raises multiple stipends
Summary
Trustees approved the district’s 2024-25 compensation plan, including a $600 increase for employees on the Teacher Pay Schedule and several stipend increases and additions for specialists and CTE activities; the motion passed 7-0.
At the Aug. 8 special meeting, the Waco ISD board adopted the district’s 2024-25 compensation plan as presented by Dr. Daniel Lopez, assistant superintendent of human resources.
The plan includes a $600 salary increase for employees on the Teacher Pay Schedule and the following stipend adjustments and additions: self-contained, ECSE, FA/Achieve and FA/Aspire teachers increased from $3,000 to $4,000; a Deaf/Blind Intervener Specialist stipend added at $6,000; inclusion/resource teachers with case‑management duties increased from $1,500 to $2,000; Strategic Reading Specialist added at $8,000; District Lead Librarian added at $7,000; and Career & Technical Student Organization stipends added at three levels: Level I $500, Level II $200, Level III $100. The minutes record the motion to accept the compensation plan passed 7-0 (moved by Keith Guillory, seconded by Jeremy Davis).
Why it matters: the plan raises base compensation for teachers on the pay schedule and changes stipends that affect specialized instructional roles and extracurricular CTE support, which can influence recruitment, retention and program staffing ahead of the school year.
What’s next: implementation details and payroll timing were not specified in the posted minutes; the HR office will implement the adopted compensation schedule.
