EDGEWOOD ISD Teacher Incentive Allotment Overview
Overview
The Texas Education Agency’s Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) was established by House Bill 3 (HB 3), which was passed by the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019 and signed into law by Governor Abbott on June 11, 2019. The goal of the TIA is to provide a realistic pathway to a six-figure salary for teachers to help recruit, support, and retain highly effective teachers in all schools, particularly in high-needs and rural schools. HB 3 established the TIA to recognize effective teachers on three different levels: Recognized, Exemplary, and Master. These teacher designations generate additional teacher-focused allotment funding for districts to reward their top performers.

TIA provides a pathway to financially recognize top teachers and serves as a great opportunity to honor the hard work of Edgewood's teachers. This will not replace the district’s current pay structure. A stipend, paid with funds received from TEA, will be issued to those who are eligible for compensation under TIA. The TIA payment is credited in the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and will be used in retirement benefit calculations.
