The Texas House approved a $4.5 billion school funding bill that would increase the amount of state money schools get per student — meaning districts would have more funds to raise teacher pay and cover the actual costs of educating students.
By proposing to raise the basic allotment, HB 100 would be the first bill to increase the amount of money districts receive to raise teacher pay and cover the actual costs of educating students.
the proposal would at best give teachers an extra $80 per paycheck. The teacher union also calculated that the allotment would have needed to increase to $7,671 per student to account for inflation. An amendment to increase the allotment to $6,500 next year failed. In Texas, if a student misses school, their district’s attendance average goes down — and so does the amount of money it receives. And in a post-COVID-19 world in which parents are quicker to keep their children home if they’re feeling ill, some districts’ finances have become more volatile than ever.
“If [lawmakers] see that attendance goes down precipitously, perhaps [they’ll] go back the other direction,” he said. The bill also updates the base amount of money that teachers should make depending on their experience.at least $54,540. Under HB 100, that teacher would need to be paid at least $55,000 if they don’t have a teaching certificate and $60,000 if they do.
