District Publications: State of the District 2019-20 | Page 17

House Bill 3 (HB 3), which was signed into law on June 11, gave more funding per student to Texas public
school districts, but it was not an equitable bill. School districts do not receive the same dollar amount per
student.
Therefore, Mansfield ISD still receives less funding per student than the regional and state average.
Despite that, MISD teachers were given a raise that was more than twice the amount required under the law.
Mansfield ISD’s new teacher salary of $56,019 is also ranked higher than most districts.
