CFBISD highlights growth in Teacher Incentive Allotment designations and high retention
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Eldridge reported growth in the number of teachers earning TIA designations (from 312 to 411), state allotments rising from about $2.9M to $4.0M, and a 91% retention rate among designated teachers; she said the program supports retention without drawing on district budget.
Superintendent Dr. Eldridge told trustees that the district has expanded the number of teachers receiving Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) designations and that the state allotment tied to those designations has grown accordingly. She gave year‑over‑year figures and retention context during the work study.
"In '23–'24 we had 312 TIA teachers...that total TIA allotment that we gave out to the 312 teachers was $2,900,000," Dr. Eldridge said. She said the following year the number rose to 411 teachers and that the allotment increased to about $4,000,000. Dr. Eldridge added that designated teachers show high retention—about 91%—and that the allotment funding does not come from the district’s general fund.
Trustees asked for further analysis tying TIA designation distribution to campus outcomes and whether increasing designations could be targeted at campuses with lower achievement; Dr. Eldridge said administration will return with more detailed breakdowns and proposals for achievable annual percentage increases.
Next steps: administration will calculate baseline percentages, propose reasonable annual targets for increasing TIA designations, and show correlations between TIA distribution and campus student outcomes.
