Minimum Salary Schedules
This page contains information about the state minimum salary schedule for classroom teachers, full-time librarians, full-time counselors, and full-time registered nurses.
In no instance may a school district pay less than the state base salary listed for that individual's years of experience as determined by Section 153.1021 of the Texas Administrative Code, Commissioner’s Rules on Creditable Years of Service.
Section 21.401 of the TEC specifies that an educator employed under a 10-month contract must provide a minimum of 187 days of service, unless the furlough program, as stated under Section 21.4021, is implemented.
