Pay Increase Won’t Boost School Taxes
Baytown teachers would receive a $500 across the board raise while a tentative budget study by Superintendent George H. Gentry and the school board found funds without raising local taxes. The report notes state aid of about $400 per teacher and local taxes covering most of the remainder, with Baytown salaries rising toward the national average and other districts paying more. A committee from the Raytown Education Association had advocated for a $400 per year increase, but funds depend on state aid and local levy adjustments.
