The GCCISD Board of Trustees has approved a 2% general pay increase for all staff, continuing the district’s strong commitment to taking care of its people. This didn’t happen by chance. Over the past several years, the district has been intentional about increasing staff pay across the board, making adjustments for experienced teachers, and staying competitive. Today, GCCISD is proud to be at or above the local market median for teacher salaries.

There is even more to celebrate. The district will be opting back into TRS insurance. While this comes with more than 6 million dollars in penalties, the Board made it clear that our employees will not carry that burden. Staying with our current insurance provider would cost over 10 million dollars, making TRS the more responsible choice for the district.

The momentum continues with the 2026-2027 budget. The district presented a proposal to the Board that will be considered for adoption in June. For the first time since 2023, GCCISD is bringing forward a completely balanced budget.

This is what progress looks like. Investing in people, protecting salaries, and building a financially strong future for GCCISD.
