DISD BOARD APPROVED 2% RAISE TO THE MID-POINT OF TEACHER SALARIES How HR calculated the raise for existing teachers? The ‘midpoint’ is determined by calculating the average salary based on a 1 st year teacher’s salary and the highest paid teacher’s salary. 1 st Year Teacher Salary + Highest Teacher Salary SUBTOTAL ÷ 2 NEW SUBTOTAL x 2% = $1,225 + $1,225 (effective )

WHAT ABOUT EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS? What is it? Based on the comparable school districts, if a position is found BELOW market rate, an equity adjustment MAY be added to that level TEACHER Equity Adjustments: 15 Years of Experience + $ Years of Experience + $ Years of Experience + $ Years of Experience + $ 60 Who gets it? Each year the Board MAY approve a specified amount of budget funds in addition to raises. The Board can specify which pay group to apply market adjustment based on greatest need.
