(Weatherford, Tx) – Weatherford ISD teachers and employees will have to wait a bit longer to find out if they’ll be bringing home more money next school year.

The Weatherford Democrat reports the board tabled a vote on a proposed pay increase at their meeting this week.  Trustees had talked about giving a 3% raises to all employees, on top of the state-required increase in compensation.

WISD administrators recommend that all teachers, counselors, nurses and librarians with more than five years’ experience receive $900 in salary increases from the state while all those with less than five years’ experience get $650.  All other WISD full-time employees would receive $630 each.  A 3% compensation increase would cost WISD’s general fund about $1.7 million.

The board believes the decision should be resolved by July 1.  The district says most employee contracts begin in July.
