Seven Killeen Independent School District employees urged the school board Tuesday to consider a pay raise for hourly employees, some detailing second and third jobs they have had to take on to make ends meet.
During the public forum portion of the meeting, Killeen Educators Association members, and KISD employees, shared their proposal for the districtâs thousands of employees: a 4% raise for teachers, nurses, counselors, and librarians; and a raise of $3 per hour for support personnel, hourly employees such as aides, secretaries, custodians, bus monitors, bus drivers and cafeteria workers.
Jason Wylie, of the Texas State Teachers Association, pointed out that the district has an employee turnover rate higher than the state average.
