If youโve ever wondered about making a meaningful change in your professional life, there has never been a better time to join Victoria Independent School District. From classroom teachers and paraprofessionals, to classified staff and career changers with a bachelorโs degree, VISD is actively hiring talented, passionate people who want to make a difference in the lives of students and in the broader Victoria community. Whether you are just beginning your career, transitioning from another field, or looking for a role that offers stability and purpose, VISD has opportunities waiting for you.
VISDโs 2025โ2026 compensation plan reflects a strong commitment to supporting employees financially. This year, the district board approved significant increases to starting pay, including a starting salary for teachers and professional support staff of $50,000 per year. Experienced teachers also benefit from structured increases tied to their years of service, with additional raises for educators with multiple years of classroom experience. Paraprofessionals and classified staff also saw pay increases, along with added percentage adjustments to midpoint pay. These enhancements demonstrate a clear focus on investing in the people who deliver excellence for students every day.
A competitive compensation package helps ensure that team members are rewarded for their dedication and expertise. Combined with health benefits, retirement plans, and opportunities for professional growth, VISD offers a career environment where you can build both personal and financial stability.
VISD is also proud to be an approved district for the Teacher Incentive Allotment, a state program that allows eligible teachers to earn additional compensation based on demonstrated effectiveness in the classroom.
Through TIA, designated teachers may receive annual stipends that can add thousands of dollars to their salary, depending on their level of designation and campus assignment. These funds are paid directly to teachers and do not replace base pay. Instead, they serve as an added incentive and recognition for high-quality instruction and student growth.
Being an approved TIA district means VISD has met rigorous state requirements and has systems in place to fairly identify, support, and reward outstanding educators. For teachers who are motivated by growth, impact, and recognition, TIA offers a powerful reason to build a career in VISD.
VISDโs hiring needs are broad. Of course, the district continues to seek certified classroom teachers who are ready to inspire, engage, and educate students at every grade level. But you donโt need to be a traditional classroom teacher to join the team. VISD welcomes applicants with a bachelorโs degree who are interested in transitioning into teaching through alternative certification paths.
This makes VISD an ideal choice for people who hold a degree in another field yet feel called to education. Through support and structured pathways, professionals transitioning to teaching can bring their real-world experience into the classroom while growing into their new roles.
In addition to teaching positions, VISD is hiring paraprofessionals who work alongside teachers to support classroom activities, student engagement, and individualized instruction, as well as office and clerical staff who support essential administrative operations.These roles are vital to the success of our schools and offer a meaningful way to impact studentsโ daily learning experiences.
Classified staff positions are another important part of the VISD team. These positions deliver essential services that ensure our schools run smoothly, from transportation and nutrition services to custodial and operational support. Whatever your skill set, there is likely a role where you can contribute and grow.
Working in VISD means joining a community that values support, collaboration, and student success. Teachers and staff work in a student-centered environment where professional development is encouraged, and opportunities for advancement are available. Whether itโs through team-based learning, coaching, or leadership opportunities, VISD invests in the growth of its people.
The districtโs mission of Achieving Excellence for All is more than a taglineโit is a daily call to elevate our work, support our students, and strengthen our community. As part of the VISD family, you become part of this larger mission and help shape the future for students across the region.
