The Texas Senate unanimously passed a bill Wednesday that would increase pay for some classroom teachers along with a number of other provisions. The upper chamber approved Senate Bill (SB) 26, which includes a tiered raise based on district size and teacher years of service.

The bill does not include raises for other educators, including counselors, school nurses, librarians, classroom aides, and other support staff.
