COPPERAS COVE – Copperas Cove ISD surprised 92 educators at 10 district campuses with Teacher Incentive Allotment designations Friday.
Created through House Bill 3 during the 2019 state legislative session, TIA is a program designed to incentivize and reward effective, high-performing teachers.
At its November 7th regular meeting, the CCISD Board of Trustees approved submitting 99 teachers for data validation with the program. Teacher designations bring state-funded pay increases that total more than $1.1 million for CCISD staff and are valid for five years. Educators are eligible to move to a higher designation within that window, if they qualify.
“We have so many great teachers in Copperas Cove and today, we were fortunate to recognize just a portion of those,” said Amanda Crawley, Deputy Superintendent for Instructional Services. “These teachers are an enormous part of the success students in Cove achieve every day. Keeping high-quality, effective educators in Copperas Cove is important and, with CCISD being approved for the Teacher Incentive Allotment, we’ll be able to do that for years to come.”
There are three levels of designations for teachers: recognized, exemplary and master.
