Summary
District staff said a committee of principals and teachers is developing a local TIA designation application (due April 15) that will use STAR and T‑TESS components; the application is part of a three‑year implementation timeline with first payouts expected in 2028.
District leaders told trustees they are preparing an application for the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) local designation, a multi‑year process intended to provide compensation pathways to retain effective teachers.
Staff described a committee that includes two teachers from each intermediate campus and district administrators. The committee will set eligible teaching assignments, student growth measures and observation components; the district plans to use STAR for student growth and its T‑TESS observations for teacher performance in early stages.
Timeline described: year 1 (2025–26) is pre‑application and system setup with an April 15 application deadline; year 2 is a data capture/implementation year; year 3 is data validation and the first payouts (projected in 2028). Staff noted that 90% of funds typically go to teacher compensation under the model and that campus context can affect amounts.
Trustees asked about designation terms; staff said designations are five years and can be adjusted through committee policy choices.
What's next: the TIA committee will finalize spending and designation rules and present a spending plan to the board before submission.
