Teacher Incentive Allotment in Klein ISD

Teacher Incentive Allotment

Klein ISD is committed to recruiting and retaining high-quality employees to benefit student outcomes. Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) means teachers don’t have to leave the classroom to make more money for their families.

TIA was established with the goal of providing great teachers a pathway to a six-figure salary.Through approved local designation systems, districts can identify, designate, and reward outstanding teachers based on student growth and classroom observation.

The Teacher Incentive Allotment is funded directly by the state of Texas and is contingent on state funding.  The Klein ISD Local Designation System is built and implemented according to both state statutory mandates and best practices as outlined in the TEA’s TIA Guidebook.
