For Classroom Teachers, Full-time Librarians, Full-time Counselors, and Full-time Nurses (Section 21.402(c), Texas Education Code)
The state base salary schedule below is in accordance with the provisions of House Bills 2879 and 3343 as passed by the 77th Session of the Texas Legislature and applies only to classroom teachers, full-time librarians, full-time counselors, and full-time nurses. (HB 3343 specifically excludes the amount attributable to the increase in the guaranteed yield level when computing the salary schedule.) There is no state minimum salary for any other position.
In no instance may a school district pay classroom teachers, full-time librarians, full-time counselors, or full-time nurses less than the state base salary listed for their years of experience. If a classroom teacher, full-time librarian, full-time counselor, full-time nurse is employed by the same district in 2002-2003 as in 2000-2001, the employing district can not pay that person less than the salary paid in 2000-2001.
Section 21.401 of the Texas Education Code specifies that an educator employed under a 10-month contract must provide a minimum of 187 days of service.
