Abbott signed a landmark school finance bill into law on June 11. The new law, known as HB 3, will pump about $6.5 billion in new spending into the state’s schools. The law requires districts to use at least 30 percent of the new funding on pay raises for staff. Of that, 75 percent must go toward teacher pay raises and raises for school-based counselors, librarians and school nurses. The remaining 25 percent goes to other staff members.
Because it is not just teacher pay raises across the board, each district now has to adjust their budget for teacher pay based on what they are receiving.
