SAN ANTONIO — School’s out for summer, but some districts are already planning for fall, especially when it comes to pay.
The latest is San Antonio ISD. The district's board of trustees approved raises for its staff Monday night during a board meeting. Northside ISD greenlit a salary increase for all full-time employees a week ago. And North East ISD will also pay it’s staff a little more this fall, too.
San Antonio ISD
The Board of Trustees at SAISD approved a 2% general pay increase for all full-time, permanent employees. That decision was made Monday night during a specially called board meeting at its district offices. Trustees also boosted starting teacher pay to $58,400, and agreed to bump stipends for bilingual and special education teachers to $5,000 dollars.
These benefits, in addition to others, will cost the district more than $10 million dollars. The superintendent says major cuts over the past three years have allowed them to do this. This comes after the district implemented its "right-sizing" plan that resulted in the closure of several schools.
North East ISD
North East ISD’s plan does not include pay raise for its staff. Instead, trustess approved at Monday's board meeting a one-time retention supplement of 1.5% to be paid in November. Full-time teachers and librarians will receive $917, while other eligible employees will get their's based on their annualized pay grade midpoint. The minimum supplement payment will be $375. All other temporary and substitute employees are not included.
Northside ISD
San Antonio's largest district approved a 2% midpoint general compensation increase for the 2024-2025 school year. Trustee's also approved a retention payment for employees that are active as June 7, 2024. The payment will be made in June as a separate direct deposit payment from the employee’s regular payroll and will be $1,100 for a full-time employee and adjusted amounts for part-time employees, substitutes, and temporary/seasonal staff.
Boerne ISD
The Hill Country school district also announced it will increase the pay for teachers, nurses and librarians for the upcoming school year. The district released the following pay increases:
- Para-professional and Auxiliary employees will receive a 2.5% pay increase.
- Teachers, Nurses, and Librarians will receive a 1.5% increase.

The district, which spans part of the south side, has increased starting teacher pay to $59,350. The district also increased pay for all district employees by 2 percent, as well as increased pay for bus drivers, custodians and instructional aides by 3-8 percent. The pay for food service workers increased by a whopping 10 percent!
Judson ISD
The district plans to add a one percent raise for all teachers in Judson ISD. According to a board meeting summary on social media, the district said this replaces a proposed $500 incentive. Now, the rest of the staff members will be receiving the $500 incentive.
