More money for BISD teachers. At last night’s board meeting trustees approved a new pay scale. The starting salary for teachers is now $55,500, all eligible employees are receiving a 4% pay increase from their salary mid-point, and a $1,000 stipend will be added to eligible employees. Also a $2,500 allotment for teachers with three to five years experience and $5,000 for teachers with at least five years experience.
