Van Alstyne ISD outlines Teacher Incentive Allotment timeline and proposed award levels
Summary
District staff presented a Teacher Incentive Allotment plan with awards ranging $2,000–$32,000 per teacher (rising to $36,000 in 2026–27), an April 15, 2026 system application deadline, and a 30/70 split between T-TESS and student-growth measures.
Tiffany Bietz briefed the board on the district’s Teacher Incentive Allotment plan, which is intended to reward top-performing teachers. The proposed award range at the individual teacher level is $2,000–$32,000, increasing to $36,000 for the 2026–27 year. The district plans to submit the system application by April 15, 2026; subsequent validation and compensation steps would follow in 2028.
Bietz described proposed eligibility and measures: eligibility would include K–8 reading and math, Algebra I, and English I & II; the scoring under discussion pairs 30 percent T‑TESS (teacher evaluation) with 70 percent student growth. The district expects to finalize and reveal its full plan in the near future. No board vote was required on the informational presentation at this meeting.
