Hawkins ISD board approves $600 raise for returning teachers above step 21
Summary
The board adopted updated certified and non-certified pay scales for 2026–2027 that include a $600 raise for returning teachers above step 21; the motion passed unanimously.
The Hawkins ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on June 29 to adopt updated certified and non-certified teacher pay scales for the 2026–2027 school year. "A motion was made by Mr. Dumas, seconded by Mr. Gattis that we adopt the updated certified and non-certified teacher pay scale for the '26-27' school year giving returning teachers over step 21 a $600 raise," the minutes record.
Trustee Tim Dumas moved the change and Trustee Ryan Gattis seconded it; all four members present voted in favor. The minutes do not provide a full pay scale table or the districtwide fiscal impact of the raise, only the specific $600 increase for returning teachers beyond step 21.
The adopted pay-scale adjustment applies to both certified and non-certified staff categories as described in the motion; implementation details and effective dates were not specified beyond adoption at the meeting.
