Page 2 of the Donna ISD 2026-2027 Compensation Plan, board approved June 8, 2026 and revised August 24, 2026.
The document states this schedule illustrates minimum salaries only; some employees are paid more for additional duty days or stipends.
The HB 2 Teacher Retention Allotment is added on top of these figures: $2,500 for 3 and 4 years of professional teaching experience and $5,000 for 5 or more years.
The first row is the district's separate rate for a first-year uncertified teacher.
- Soft spot: The compensation plan does not state the teacher contract day count (only that registered nurses work 184 days), so work_days is null.
