Key takeaway The district was able to increase teacher pay by 2% despite a lack of state funding.
Midway ISD has passed a new budget that reduces its deficit by nearly a million dollars. The district was able to increase teacher pay by 2% despite a lack of state funding. To achieve this, significant cuts were made, including changes to middle school class periods and the elimination of certain programs.
Further details on the budget cuts are available, including the closure of a local elementary school. The impact of the pay increase on students is expected to be positive, with potential reductions in teacher burnout. More information on the budget and its effects can be found through an interview with the superintendent and a parent in the district.
