Do Hays CISD teachers make less than those in surrounding districts? When school psychologists told the board earlier this month they were lower paid than their counterparts in other districts, teachers chimed in saying they are also paid less.

Elementary teacher Carolyn Doherty wrote, “Get in line psychologists. I am pretty sure that as an experienced classroom teacher, my salary is not nearly the lowest of surrounding districts. It is the lowest.”
