Austin ISD employees will get a three percent pay "bump" for the 2012-13 school year, after district trustees approved a $724.2 million spending plan Monday night.
The plan includes a one-time payment equivalent to a three percent pay raise for all district employees. Several new programs, including the IDEA charter school at Allan Elementary will also be launched using funds from the plan.
The pay raise is the first for district employees since 2009. The one-year increase totals approximately $14.16 million.
Trustees still need to agree on the revenue side of the budget, including whether they will call for a property tax referrendum on the November ballot. That decision is expected to be made sometime in August.
