Grid is page 4 of the 2026-2027 HISD Compensation Plan (revised August 2026), titled '2026-2027 Henderson ISD Classroom Teacher Pay Scale'.
This is Henderson ISD in Rusk County, Texas (the plan gives PO Box 728, Henderson, TX 75653) - not any of the other Henderson districts.
'Classroom Teacher' is the HB 2 definition: must teach an average of at least 4 hours a school day in an academic or CTE instructional setting.
The House Bill 2 Adjustment at 1 and 2 years is labelled a local adjustment; from 3 years it is the statutory Teacher Retention Allotment.
The plan prints a second, lower 'Non-Classroom Teacher Pay Scale' (0 years $46,750 up to 20 years $63,212) for staff who do not meet the 4-hour rule; that scale is not recorded here.
The published table ends with a '21+' row that carries no dollar figure, only the note 'Step increases may be applied if adopted by Board of Trustees'; it is omitted.
- Soft spot: The document does not state the number of contract days (it says 10-month calendar), so work_days is null.
