Mesquite ISD

In a special board meeting on July 31, the Mesquite ISD Board of Trustees approved the compensation plan for the 2025–26 school year.

This decision follows the passage of House Bill 2 earlier this year, which provides additional revenue for school districts across the state. Mesquite ISD will receive approximately $18.4 million in new funding under this legislation.

“While this investment is appreciated, there’s a significant limitation: $10.8 million of that funding is legally required to go directly toward teacher and support staff compensation. That leaves only $7.6 million available to offset other existing and/or mandated expenses,” explained Superintendent Dr. Ángel Rivera.
