Houston ISD says they've overpaid thousands of employees, promises to recoup funds
HOUSTON - The Houston Independent School District (HISD) has issued an apology to thousands of employees who were overpaid on their paychecks during the 2024-2025 school year.
A technical error discovered during an internal review last week led to the overpayment of approximately 4,000 employees, primarily teachers and assistant principals.

"We understand the impact this error has had on our employees, and we take full responsibility," said Chief Human Resources Officer Jessica Neyman. "Ensuring that all employees are paid accurately and on time is a top priority for Superintendent Miles, myself, and the entire HISD Human Resources team."
HISD has notified all impacted employees of the overpayment and has outlined a plan to recoup the funds in equal installments over the remaining contract year. The district is also implementing measures to prevent similar errors from occurring in the future.
"We are committed to resolving this issue as quickly and fairly as possible," Neyman added. "We appreciate the understanding and patience of our employees during this time."
