H.B. No. 3052 amends Section 48.051 of the Education Code to mandate that school districts allocate a minimum of 30 percent of certain funding increases to provide compensation raises for full-time district employees, excluding administrators. Specifically, 75 percent of this amount must be directed towards increasing salaries for classroom teachers, full-time librarians, school counselors, and nurses, with a focus on rewarding teachers with over five years of experience. The bill introduces a new provision allowing 25 percent of the funds to be used at the district's discretion to increase compensation for both full-time and part-time employees not covered in the first category.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that the compensation increases for part-time and full-time employees must result in a salary or hourly wage increase compared to the previous school year. This legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
