The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) and Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) have released their 2008-2009 “Salaries and Benefits in Texas Public Schools Teacher Report.”

In this report they say:

“The weighted average teacher salary in responding districts is $47,305 for 2008–09, up 2.4 percent from the 2007–08 average salary of $46,178.”
