The Dallas News reports tonight the Texas House and Senate have passed pay raises for Texas Teachers. The article says:

In total, lawmakers are spending $2 billion this biennium for increased compensation for teachers, librarians, counselors and nurses with priority on veteran educators. About $1.6 billion of that will be for direct salary increases. The rest of the compensation increases comes in the form of merit and incentive pay and retirement benefit increases.

Patrick said a veteran teacher could expect about $4,000 more a year in their "total compensation package." However, that figure includes increases to retirement benefits.
