Board approves MOU with Commit Partnership to support teacher certification pathway
Summary
The board unanimously approved a no-cost Memorandum of Understanding with Commit Partnership to fund a certification pathway lead, TExES preparation support and Teacher Incentive Allotment assistance from August 2026–June 2027.
Pamela Brown Wynn presented a proposed Memorandum of Understanding between Duncanville ISD and Commit Partnership to support uncertified educators in meeting Texas certification requirements. She told the board the partnership "will provide TExES, that's the teacher certification preparation support, resources for teachers seeking certification" and will include a certification pathway lead and professional learning supports.
Brown Wynn said the partnership runs from August 2026 through June 2027, includes stipends paid through the grant (described in the materials as a $1–3,000 stipend for the Pathway Lead) and does not require a financial obligation from the district. She added that Commit's data requests will be limited to teacher progress and will not include personally identifiable student information.
Trustee Phil McNeely moved to approve the FY26 Educator Development Capacity Support Grant MOU; Trustee Jacqueline Culton seconded and the motion passed 7-0. The board recorded that the partnership will support TExES prep, teacher workshops and Teacher Incentive Allotment support as described in the presentation.
