Houston ISD today released its new 2024-25 compensation package for its employees that promises higher teacher salaries throughout the district — much higher in some cases — improved minimum pay of $15 an hour for non-teaching staff, but nowhere in its 28-page compensation package is there a single mention of librarians.
The position of Dean still present at some of the schools is being discontinued, Head of HISD Human Relations Jessica Neyman said. Those duties will be handled by assistant principals. "There were some habits formed in the past about any time someone did anything a little bit extra they anticipated that a stipend would be created. There was a lot of latitude in a decentralized compensation structure."
Even brand new teachers at the non-NES schools will be making $64,000 a year, which Neyman said is probably higher than any other local district. According to her, the average salary for a teacher in Texas is $55,616. However, the district which has experienced a shortage of special education teachers, has raised those salaries to $86,000 for someone with zero to two years experience and to $92,000 for someone with five years experience, she said.
