Proposed Dallas ISD budget could feature position cuts, teacher pay raises
Dallas ISD students are in the last week of school, but there’s still work to be done to next school year’s budget.
Thursday, the district will present a proposed budget to the Board of Trustees.
The district says the state’s allotment of $5,800 hundred per student will stress the budget with inflation and no new money.
In an April release, the district said Superintendent Dr. Stephanie Elizalde expects some positions in the district to be eliminated.
Dallas ISD is working to keep as many positions as possible by possibly shifting roles and getting creative with vacancies.
The district is also proposing an increase in minimum wage increase for hourly workers to $16.50. Teachers would see a minimum salary increase to $62,000.
