The Duncanville board of trustees is proposing a $3,000 raise for teachers, counselors, and librarians. While we appreciate this proposal, unfortunately it is not enough to keep up with inflation and the current cost of living. That's why we're asking the board for 8%, which would be a $5,000 raise, for our hardworking educators.

If you haven't already, please sign our pre-written letter asking the board of trustees for this well-deserved pay raise. https://bit.ly/DuncanvilleDeservesMore2023

Brownsville ISD school employees deserve respect!

Earlier this afternoon, BISD Board of Trustees held a special called meeting where they decided on retention bonuses. BEST AFT made the case for a $1,000 retention bonus for employees this winter. Board members went ahead and only approved a $500 bonus.

We are disappointed, but not defeated. Our members will continue to lead efforts to move our decision makers into doing better by their employees. Follow this link to get involved and help us send a message to BISD decision makers: !
