The Killeen Independent School District board of trustees unanimously approved a series of pay raises and incentives for district employees this week.
âIn total, Killeen ISD is investing $14.8 million on our most valuable resource, our employees, and is positioned to be the most competitive school district in central Texas for hourly and salary employees,â the district said in a press release Tuesday night.
All district employees will receive a 3.5% general pay increase beginning July 1, according to KISD.
In addition to the 3.5% general pay increase, some hourly employees will receive âpay rate equity adjustmentsâ between 8 to 13% depending on the position.
The starting rate for a first-year teacher will be $52,000, up from a base rate of $50,300 in 2019, according to prior reporting. .
