A well-designed spending plan ensures that Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) funds are used strategically to recognize and retain effective teachers while supporting district goals. This session will guide district leaders through a review of their current or proposed spending plan to ensure alignment with statutory requirements and best practices.
Participants will:
-
Review TEA requirements and allowable uses of TIA funds.
-
Analyze how spending plan decisions can support district goals, equity, and teacher retention.
-
Identify potential adjustments to strengthen transparency and sustainability.
-
Access ESC tools and resources for developing and revising plans.
By the end of the session, participants will leave with practical strategies to refine their TIA spending plans and ensure funds are used in ways that maximize both teacher impact and student outcomes.
