Montgomery ISD teachers will see an additional $3,300 (about 5%) for current teachers and an additional 3% for all other groups.
“These increases are in addition to the 2% across-the-board pay raises approved by the Board for all district employees earlier this school year,” the district said. “With the adoption of this compensation plan, in 18 months, current Montgomery ISD teachers will have received an approximate 7% total pay increase, or a total of $4,055, with all other employee groups receiving a 5% total raise.”
On top of the pay raise, the new plan also restructured the teacher pay scale so first-year teachers will now start at $54,450 instead of $51,000.
