Gainesville ISD reviews HB 2 teacher compensation and prior-year raises
Summary
Director of finance summarized HB 2 teacher-compensation requirements and noted last year's pay increases of $4,000 for teachers with 3–4 years and $8,000 for teachers with five or more years; teachers will continue to advance by step.
Dr. Jon Hill, Gainesville ISD's director of finance, reviewed how HB 2 affects teacher compensation and summarized recent raise history. He said teachers with 3–4 years of experience received $4,000 increases last year, while teachers with five or more years received $8,000 increases; the district expects teachers to continue advancing on the salary schedule by step.
Board members discussed these assumptions as part of the budget picture, noting that teacher-compensation requirements under HB 2 are a baseline the district must reflect in its pay schedule. No changes to the HB 2 implementation were adopted at the workshop; these items remain part of the overall budget deliberations ahead of the district's August adoption timetable.
