Teachers will receive up to 8 percent in pay raises with an emphasis on rewarding veteran teachers for their valuable experience and years of service, according to. This makes Lockhart ISD one of the highest-paying districts in Central Texas for veteran teachers with years of service from any school district.
In addition to increased pay, Lockhart ISD also announced that it will provide a compensation package that includes self-funded health insurance, moving away from the Texas Retirement System’s health insurance plans to its own service called Lion Care. The movement to this model results in savings of $21 - $1,559 per month, depending on an employee’s current TRS Active Care health insurance plan.
"The goal of the school district in this budget was to focus on having a LockHeart for People in caring for its staff," said Chief Financial Officer Nicole Dean. "We are very proud to offer a plan that increases pay at historic levels while also saving our staff money with reduced monthly costs on health insurance."
