Important message about salaries

Sept. 6, 2024

Dear TCS Families,

There are some who still question how the additional funds that will accrue from the September 24th referendum will be spent. One use of these funds will be to provide increased funding for classroom teachers and for staff, including a 2% proposed pay raise in October 2025.

According to Alabama Department of Education data, salaries for Tuscaloosa City School teachers rank 103 out 138 systems in the state. (Click here to see the data) Almost a quarter of the funding produced by the increase in education millage will go to classroom teachers’ pay.

Thank you for choosing the Tuscaloosa City Schools for your family.

Please vote on September 24.

- Mike Daria
