BURTON ISD APPROVES $1,000 STAFF PAY RAISES

  

An extra $1,000 in pay is on the way for Burton ISD teachers and staff.

After an executive session on Monday, the Burton School Board approved the 2023-24 staff payment plan.

Superintendent Dr. Edna Kennedy said the teacher pay scale is being adjusted to provide a $1,000 raise to all teachers.  All other district employees will get a $1,000 raise, as well.

The district also plans to give all employees a $1,000 bonus in December.

Dr. Kennedy said a lot of work and thought went into creating a staff payment plan, especially as the state decides what it wants to do to support school employees.  She thanked Burton ISD Business Manager Caitlyn Blakey-Staal for her work and diligence in preparing and re-preparing payment plan options that the district’s budget could support.
