Teacher Incentive Allotment generated about $7.6M for LISD; HB2 expands eligibility
Summary
Staff reported the district generated approximately $7.6 million in TIA funding this year and saw growth in designated teachers; House Bill 2 will increase allotment amounts and add an 'acknowledged' designation to expand eligibility, while the district is not pursuing an optional enhanced, fully performance-based pay model.
Lane Sobehrad presented the district's Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) results, reporting approximately $7.6 million generated this year, with most funding—at least 90%—allocated directly for teacher compensation. The district has seen growth in the number of designated teachers and relatively high retention among those teachers; staff noted distribution remains uneven with middle schools an area of concern.
Lane said recent legislative updates under House Bill 2 will increase allotment amounts and introduce an "acknowledged" designation level to expand eligibility to more teachers. An optional "enhanced TIA" model that would replace the salary schedule with a fully performance-based pay system was discussed in general terms, but staff said the district is not pursuing that model. The district retains a small portion of funds to cover program costs and reinvests unclaimed funds back into campuses.
