Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Education Agency have released a report that reveals much-needed pay raises for Texas teachers in many areas of the state, including in Huntsville ISD.

The report shows that Huntsville teachers who had zero to five years of experience received a $4,620 increase. Meanwhile, teachers with over five years of experience saw a $3,650 increase in pay.

"Thanks to the historic legislation we passed last session, Texas teachers are already seeing a significant increase in their pay," Abbott said. "When Texas students graduate, we want them to receive more than a diploma — but also the knowledge and skills they need to excel in college or a career. Thank you to Chairman Larry Taylor and Chairman Dan Huberty for leading the way on this critical issue, and thank you to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Speaker Dennis Bonnen, and members of the Legislature who supported this bill. Their work is delivering meaningful results for Texas students and teachers, and helping our state recruit and retain the very best educators. The State of Texas will continue to enhance our education system and provide a quality education for every Texas student, regardless of ZIP code."
