Public commenter Ewan Blackman urged a reconsideration of how the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) is distributed, saying it creates a "two class system" among teachers and rewards relative ranking rather than competence. He cited district and statewide dollar figures and said only a small share of RISD teachers receive TIA payments.
