Pine Tree ISD raises bilingual summer-school pay to meet TEA 120-hour requirement
Summary
To comply with TEA bilingual/ESL summer school requirements of 120 instructional hours, Pine Tree ISD extended summer days and increased bilingual teacher pay from $260.41 to $390.60 per day; the board approved the change 6-0.
District staff told the board the summer school program was reduced to June only; to comply with TEA bilingual/ESL requirements of 120 hours for incoming kindergarten and first-grade emergent bilingual students, the district extended the instructional day from 5 hours to 7.5 hours. As a result, the proposed bilingual teacher daily pay rate was increased from $260.41 to $390.60 per day.
Drew Seidel moved to approve the proposed rate increases for the 2025 summer school pay scale; Melanie Roudkovski seconded. The motion passed 6-0. The board record shows the change is intended to keep the district in compliance with TEA program requirements.
The transcript does not list the names of teachers affected or the total budgetary impact of the change; those details are in the supporting materials presented to the board.
