Navarro ISD says 45 teachers expected to receive Teacher Incentive Allotment designations
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Dr. David Kauffman told the board Navarro ISD's TIA system is approved and validated by TEA; 45 teachers are expected to receive designations this spring (29 Recognized, 13 Exemplary, 3 Master) and the district has applied to expand eligibility.
Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources and School Leadership Dr. David Kauffman briefed the board on the district's Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) status and next steps. He said Navarro ISD's TIA submission for 2024–2025 was validated by the Texas Education Agency and that the district expects 45 teachers to receive designation this spring: 29 Recognized, 13 Exemplary and 3 Master. Two additional staff hold active designations they received from prior districts (one Recognized and one Exemplary). "The TIA is a state-funded system that provides additional compensation to outstanding teachers who are identified based on their performance appraisal and their students' academic growth," Kauffman said.
Kauffman told trustees that all 47 designated teachers will receive stipends this summer provided they fulfill their contract and remain in the district through the end of the school year. He also said the district submitted an expansion application in April 2026 that would broaden eligibility to all or nearly all Navarro ISD teachers, and that the 2025–2026 data submission will allow additional teachers an opportunity for designation.
