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.
โWeโre incredibly appreciative that the Legislature was able to get House Bill 2 across
the finish line,โ Superintendent Dr. Marty Crawford said. โThis 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

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.
