DeKalb ISD's second district goal is to offer resources that help attract and retain high-quality staff. To stay competitive in recruiting and keeping teachers, we are considering involvement in the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA).
Our objective is to acknowledge and reward committed educators who excel in their roles, maintain a strong cohort of talented teachers, enhance learning opportunities for students, and foster the professional development of our staff within a supportive, community-focused environment.

Teacher Designations
Teacher designations generate additional teacher-focused allotment funding for districts to reward and retain their most effective teachers. Teachers earn designations through two different routes. First, National Board Certified teachers are eligible to earn a Recognized designation. Second, districts may designate their effective teachers when they are approved for a local teacher designation system. The approval process is multi-step and includes the submission of a system application to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and then a data validation process through Texas Tech University.
