KELLER, Texas — The Keller Independent School District has announced employee raises for their 2026-2027 academic school year, according to a release.
The Keller ISD Board of the Trustees met Thursday June 25, 2026, to discuss the general fund budget. The board approved the budget in the special meeting, which projected a $346.1 million revenue, with a $300,000 surplus.

This allows for a step increase and 1% salary increase for salary employees and a 1% raise for all other staff, according to the release. The district also voted to increase its monthly health insurance premium by $25 a month, or $300 per year.
This fall, the district will monitor additional revenue data to explore the possibility of a one-time bonus for staff during the academic year, the release states.
The district cut $13 million in expenditures from the previous year’s budget, leading to projected lost revenue and an increase in operational costs.
In May, the Keller ISD school board voted to close three schools with declining enrollment to cut costs.
The district said Tuesday, “As school districts across Texas continue to face funding challenges presented by increasing fixed costs and unfunded mandates from the state, the Keller ISD’s community is encouraged to advocate for the district and public school funding by contacting your state elected officials between now and the beginning of the 90th Texas Legislature in 2027.”
