Tarkington ISD outlines 'Grow Your Own' educator pathway for 2025–26
Summary
The board reviewed a Grow Your Own recruitment initiative with three participation tiers for paraprofessionals, ACP candidates, and college graduates; the program sets compensation tiers, parent-notification rules, and a certification pathway.
In the absence of the director of human resources, Superintendent Dr. Elna Davis presented the district’s Grow Your Own Recruitment Initiative. The program provides three participation tiers targeted to paraprofessionals, ACP candidates, and recent college graduates, and includes defined compensation tiers, parent-notification requirements, and a pathway to teacher certification.
The board received the overview for consideration; no formal vote was recorded on the item at this meeting. The initiative is intended to bolster local teacher pipelines by recruiting candidates already connected to the district and supporting their certification progression.
