For teachers, full-time librarians, full-time counselors, and full-time nurses, the state minimum salary is as provided by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). See Table 1.
Note: Districts of Innovation will use the 187 day salary schedule for calculation purposes.
For other members employed who would have been entitled to the state minimum salary under former Section 16.056 of the Texas Education Code, as that section existed on January 1, 1995, the state minimum salary schedule is the same schedule provided by TEA for teachers, full-time librarians, counselors, and nurses. Table 2 and Table 3 have been updated based on the new salary schedule provided by TEA.
Salary step schedule information is made available to assist districts with calculating the Statutory Minimum contribution. The information provided by TRS may not be based on the most recent salary schedule provided by TEA. If the salary schedule has been updated by the Commissioner of Education, it is the RE’s responsibility to pay the state contribution on amounts paid to the employee in excess of the current state minimum salary schedule.
