Faculty, staff and administrators will have their pay increased after Tuesday night’s decision by the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees.
Teachers, librarians and nurses will see an increase of $1,200 annually as a result of the board’s vote. Professionals and administrators of Harlingen CISD will receive a 2.5 percent increase of their position’s midpoint salary. Paraprofessional and hourly staff will receive a 3 percent wage increase at their position’s midpoint wage.
Employees need to be in their current positions for 90 days to be qualified for the pay raise. On the hiring front, the Harlingen CISD Human Resource Department has been busy filling administrative positions across several campuses as well as the administrative building.
