Teachers

GCISD offers discounted childcare for teacher's children through the District Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) for infants and toddlers, a tuition-based Pre-K program with discounted employee rates, and the Extended Day Program (EDP) for after-school care, also with discounted rates for employees. 

There is also a third-party provider, KidzU, at elementary campuses offering before and after-school care with special employee rates.  

Additionally, children of GCISD employees may attend GCISD's top tier schools, even if they are not residents!

 In May of 2023, the Board of Trustees voted in the highest teacher pay increase in a decade--a 4% raise from midpoint. Starting salary for teachers, librarians, and nurses is now at an all-time high. Additionally, all non-teaching professionals also received the 4% from midpoint raise. 

Each year the Board increases employee compensation to the highest level possible while maintaining a balanced budget.

Note: When comparing teacher salaries between school districts, be sure the districts are comparable. This means that student enrollment, recapture payments (Robin Hood), etc., must match up sufficiently to justify a comparison. 

 GCISD boasts a comprehensive mentorship program for educators who are new to the profession.

Personal learning communities within each school, in addition to top-down support from administrative liaisons, ensure that every teacher in GCISD is well-supported.

New learning materials in core subjects provide GCISD's educators with all of the best tools to practice their trade. Some of these include the HMH phonics-based reading curriculum (K-5), iReady personalized learning tools (K-8), and a new science curriculum (K-12).
