Dear Team,
I am pleased to share that at their June Regular Meeting, the SBISD Board of Trustees approved the 2025-26 Compensation Plan that includes a raise for all eligible employees! Eligible employees are those who have completed 90 full-time equivalent days as an SBISD employee.
The Compensation Plan provides the following pay increases:
- In alignment with the Teacher Retention Allotment (TRA) under House Bill 2 (HB 2), recently signed by Governor Abbott:
- Teachers, as defined under HB 2 and TEA guidance, with 5+ years of experience, will receive a pay increase of $5,000.
- Teachers, as defined under HB 2 and TEA guidance with at least 3 years and less than 5 years of experience, will receive a pay increase of $2,500.
- In alignment with the Support Staff Retention Allotment (SSRA) under HB2:
- Teachers with 0-2 years of experience and certain specified professional positions falling under SSRA whose salaries fall within the pay range for their job will receive a pay increase of 2 percent of midpoint.*
- Non- exempt staff such as auxiliary workers and paraprofessionals whose salary falls within the pay range for their job will receive a pay increase of 3 percent of midpoint.*
The Compensation Plan also includes district-provided pay increases for other professional staff and administrators who fall outside the TRA and SSRA guidelines. These individuals will receive a pay increase of 2 percent of midpoint*.
*Eligible employees whose salaries fall above the pay range for their job will receive a 1 percent of midpoint increase.
Questions should be referred to our Human Resources team at HR@springbranchisd.com.
Trustees also approved the 2025-26 budget**, which includes coverage of the majority of the health insurance premium cost increases through the district’s cost share investment.
Please look for communication in the days and weeks ahead about Benefits Open Enrollment which begins on Tuesday, July 15. Benefits information will be available soon at this link.
Please join me in thanking the SBISD Board of Trustees as well as the members of the 89th Legislature for their significant investment in our employees for the coming year.
Thanks to each of you for all you do on behalf of Every Child in SBISD.
Have a great summer!
Jennifer Blaine, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
**As we await final guidance from the Texas Education Agency on HB2 and other legislation impacting school district budgets, the approved 2025-26 budget does not include budgetary impacts of the 89th Legislative Session and will be amended in the months ahead.
