Brackett ISD proposes 3% across-the-board raise, targeted adjustments for mid-career teachers
Summary
District staff recommended a 3% general increase for all employees and additional adjustments targeted at teachers with 10'20 years of service; administrators presented estimated costs and a hiring guide tied to the recommendation.
Brackett ISD officials presented a compensation proposal at the May 12 meeting that would give a 3% pay increase to all employees and add targeted adjustments for teachers with longer service to improve retention.
"So we are proposing a salary increase of 3% for all employees," the presenter said, and described an additional adjustment for teachers in the 10'20 year range. Administration recommended a pay model (model 2) that includes a $1,675 increase for continuing teachers in the proposed schedule.
Staff said the district has market competitiveness at 0'5 years but loses ground after five years, and the proposed targeted adjustments are designed to close that mid-career gap. The compensation proposal covers certified teachers, administrative professionals and nonexempt staff; the district also proposed equity adjustments and a targeted increase for special-education aides who provide intensive care.
Administration estimated the immediate total cost increase for the proposed adjustments at $188,996 and asked trustees to review the draft before a vote on the compensation plan at a follow-up meeting.
