- Will I receive Career Ladder pay?
The Texas Legislature eliminated the state career ladder system and the end of the 1992-93 school year. The legislature did provide for teachers to continue receiving career ladder pay as a part of salary IF they continue as a teacher IN THE SAME SCHOOL DISTRICT after August 31, 1993. A teacher who TRANSFERS TO ANOTHER TEXAS SCHOOL DISTRICT after August 31, 1993, forfeits all rights to career ladder pay.
