Pay Raise For Amarillo Teachers, Kindergarten Expanding
The A.I.S.D. Board of Trustees approved two changes for the upcoming school year yesterday.
The district approved a pay raise for teachers and all employees. The raise of 2.5% will mean around a $1500 increase per year for teachers.
Also, in an effort to boost reading skills and to bring the district in line with other districts in the area, Kindergarten will be expanded by two hours.
