The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) is a program that rewards state (of Texas) funding for performance-based teacher compensation that meets certain criteria. This compensation is above-and-beyond a teacher’s annual salary. TIA was part of HB3 to help recruit, retain and reward highly-effective teachers. 

Districts have the option to participate through an initial 3-year TEA application and full system approval process.* Upon full system approval, districts receive an allotment of $3,000-$32,000 annually per employed designated teacher. Up to 90% of the allotment may be awarded to the designated teacher per the district’s spending plan.

*Humble ISD has full system approval which was earned on 2022-2023 teacher effectiveness data. Full system renewal will be required with data capture year 2026-2027.
