Additional pay for selected assignments: elementary bilingual classroom $7,500, special education self-contained $5,000, special education resource or inclusion $1,500, high school shortage in math, physics and chemistry $3,120, CTE teacher $1,305, sign-on bonus $2,080 for bilingual, special education self-contained and high school math, physics and chemistry.
The district also pays a longevity stipend for every five completed years of Killeen ISD service.
The district's separate 2026-27 Pay Plan covers administrative, instructional support and manual trades grades but not teachers.
- Soft spot: The district's document link resolves to a stored file named '24-25 Teacher Placement Schedule.pdf', but the document itself is titled Teacher Placement Schedule 2026-2027 and the district lists it as the 26-27 schedule; the stored file name is a district naming slip.
- Soft spot: Because the schedule ends at 20 years, the district's Compensation Handbook on the same page is the 2024-2025 edition and does not document 2026-27 placement above 20 years.
