Canyon ISD board unanimously approves teacher incentive allotment plan after monthslong planning

The Canyon Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously April 14 to approve the district's Teacher Incentive Allotment plan, a multi-year program staff said is designed to let every eligible teacher access state TIA funding and to align teacher pay with local appraisal ratings and student progress measures.

District staff described the plan as a two-year rollout that will first include grade levels and content areas with existing student-progress measures and add additional teachers and electives in year two after those measures are established. "The planning committee recommended a 90/10 split so that 90% of the allotment goes to teachers and 10% covers district TIA-related expenses," said Cameron (staff member), who presented the plan to the board. "We want every single one of our teachers to have the ability to earn Teacher Incentive Allotment."
