TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT - RATIONALE

The Texas Education Agency’s Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) program is dedicated to recruiting, supporting and retaining highly effective teachers in all schools, with particular emphasis on high-needs and rural schools. Our implementation will begin during the 2021-22 school year. This program provides a pathway to financially recognize top teachers and serves as a great opportunity to honor the hard work and proven success of our Lighthouse Public Schools teaching staff. 

This is not a merit-pay approach to compensation and it will not replace the district’s current pay structure. For those who earn a distinction based on both teacher observation and student growth data, it will be an additional state stipend completely separate from the current Lighthouse Public Schools pay structure.

Our implementation will begin during the 2021-22 school year, according to the Cohort D timeline.  Please use the links below for additional information.  If you have questions, please visit our website at lighthousesa.org.
