Relating to the salary and wages paid to public school employees; making an appropriation.

HB 3050 establishes a temporary minimum salary requirement for certain Texas public school employees during the 2025-2026 school year. It mandates that classroom teachers, full-time librarians, school counselors, and school nurses must receive a monthly salary at least $400 higher than what they would have earned under the previous year's district schedule, with this provision expiring September 1, 2026. The bill appropriates $1 billion from the economic stabilization fund to provide one-time retention bonuses for district support staff (excluding administrators and those covered by the new salary rules). It also creates a new state aid program of $4,000 per qualifying employee to help school districts fund these salary increases.
