Tyler, TX โ€“ During its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, July 21, the Tyler ISD Board of Trustees approved the 2025-2026 Budget and Compensation Structure, reflecting significant investments in staff salaries following the passage of House Bill 2 by the Texas Legislature.

House Bill 2, which allocates $8.5 billion in public education funding statewide, includes
provisions for teacher pay raises and additional formula increases aimed at supporting
educators across Texas.

โ€œWeโ€™re incredibly appreciative that the Legislature was able to get House Bill 2 across
the finish line,โ€ Superintendent Dr. Marty Crawford said. โ€œThis means a $2,500 or even $5,000 raise for many of our teachers in Tyler ISD, which is a major step forward in
valuing their work and commitment.โ€

ย  ย  ย 

Under the new plan:

  • The starting salary for certified teachers will increase by $1,500 to $52,000.
  • Teachers with 1 year of experience, though not funded by HB 2, will receive a
  • $1,500 raise.
  • Teachers with 2 years of experience, though not funded by HB 2 or included in
  • the previous pay scale increases, will receive a $1,000 raise.
  • Teachers with 3-4 years of experience will receive a $2,500 raise, funded
  • through HB 2.
  • Teachers with 5+ years of experience will see a $5,000 raise, funded through HB 2.

ย  ย  ย  ย 

Tyler ISD approved additional pay increases outside of HB 2:

  • 3% increase of the midpoint of the pay grade for professional employees.
  • 5% increase of the midpoint for clerical and manual trades employees.

ย Employees previously included in the teacher pay scale but not classified as certified teachers under HB 2 will receive raises according to the Districtโ€™s existing compensation
structure.
