The Katy ISD Board of Trustees has approved pay increases for all KISD staff at their last board meeting held June 22. The pay increase includes a $660 raise for all teachers with an additional lump sum payment in December of this year. Non-teachers will received a 1% increase in pay at the beginning of the 2020-21 school year, according to a Katy ISD press release.

“It’s because of our employees’ drive and passion to be there for our kids and establish relationships with families, regardless of circumstances, that Katy ISD students consistently outperform students from across the state,” KISD Superintendent Ken Gregorski said. “They ensure that our students have access to resources, opportunities and experiences that have positioned Katy ISD as a destination school district.”

Administration praised district staff for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic that successfully helped the district’s roughly 84,000 students continue their educations despite needing to participate in classes from home.
