House Bill 3 (HB3) established the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) to recognize effective teachers on three levels: Recognized, Exemplary, and Master. These teacher designations generate additional teacher-focused allotment funding for districts for them to reward their top performers.
Teachers earn designations through two different routes. First, National Board Certified teachers are eligible to earn a Recognized designation. Second, districts may designate effective teachers when approved for a local teacher designation system. The approval process is multi-step and includes submitting a system application to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and then a data validation process through Texas Tech University.
Life School awards the full 90% of the allotment to designated teachers (minus allowable deductions).
