Teague ISD Teachers Awarded Incentives

Last week, 46 of the 87 teachers at Teague ISD were recognized and awarded by Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA).

TIA elevates the education profession by providing districts with systems and funding to recruit promising new teachers, retain their best teachers, and incentivize teachers to work in high-needs schools and difficult to staff positions. Based in the Texas Education Code (TEC), §21.3521 (Local Optional Teacher Designation System) and §48.112 (Teacher Incentive Allotment), TIA is built to provide lasting funds for outstanding Texas teachers to remain in the classroom and improve student outcomes.

Teague ISD will receive an estimated allotment in excess of $768,000 annually, broken down in the following designations and amounts:

–Master: 19 teachers ($24,102 – $27,469)

–Exemplary: 16 teachers ($13,261 – $14,048)

–Recognized: 11 teachers ($6,631 – $7,024)

Congratulations to these teachers!
