Historic pay raises announced for Jackson Public School teachers and staff
SUMMARY: Jackson Public School (JPS) teachers and hourly staff will receive significant pay raises for the 2024-25 academic year. The JPS Board of Trustees approved increasing the local supplement to the state-mandated minimum teacher salaries and hourly wages, made possible by $18 million from the state’s new funding formula and the district’s Optimization for Equity Plan. Teachers with varying years of service will receive supplements ranging from $5,000 to $5,500. Hourly staff will get raises of at least $2, with skilled labor positions seeing increases up to $7 per hour. This initiative follows the state’s largest-ever teacher pay raise law signed in 2022.
