AISD trustees recommend raises
Wednesday, May 25, 2016 by Elizabeth Pagano
AISD staff presented the district’s recommended budget, which includes a 4 percent raise for all employees and a $13 per hour floor for classified employees. These increases will cost the district $20.04 million and $1.2 million respectively, despite the recent court ruling declaring public school financing constitutional. The district is also investing $3 million for Professional Pathways for Teachers (PPfT), a new payment incentive program. The board will take up the budget for a formal vote June 20.
