Bill > HB1413

This bill amends the Texas Education Code to provide salary increases and additional state aid for certain public school employees during the 2025-2026 school year. Specifically, the bill requires that classroom teachers, full-time librarians, full-time school counselors, and full-time school nurses receive a monthly salary that is equal to their previous year's salary plus an additional $400. The bill also ensures that these employees will maintain their 2025-2026 salary level if they remain employed by the same school district in subsequent years. To support these salary increases, the bill introduces a new state aid provision that will provide school districts with $4,000 for each of these qualifying employees, regardless of the district's existing state aid eligibility. The bill removes a previous subsection related to salary schedules and is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, applying to the 2025-2026 school year. This legislation aims to support and potentially improve retention of key educational staff by providing a guaranteed salary increase and additional financial support for school districts.
