Raises Approved For Montgomery ISD Employees

MONTGOMERY, TX — The Montgomery ISD Board of Trustees approved the district's 2021-22 compensation plan at its Tuesday meeting. The plan includes an increase of $3.8 million in salary and stipends across all employee groups.

Current teachers will receive a 5 percent salary increase, and all other district employees will receive a 3 percent increase. In addition to a 2 percent raise for all employees that the board approved in October, the plan brings the total pay increase for teachers to 7 percent — equivalent to $4,055 — and all other employees to 5 percent.

In addition to adopting the compensation plan, the board also approved teacher contracts for the 2021-22 school year.

“Our dedicated employees in Montgomery ISD have stepped up in so many ways during this
challenging year,” Board of Trustees President Matt Fuller said in a release. “I could not be more thankful for their tireless efforts this school year, and while I’m looking forward to the opportunity to do even more for our employees, I’m excited that the compensation plan adopted by the board tonight provides them with well-earned raises entering the next school year.”

• The salary for first-year teachers was increased from $51,000 per year to $54,450 per year.
