Teacher Incentive Allotment

The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) was established in 2019 to provide outstanding teachers with an accessible pathway to a six-figure salary. Unlike previous education programs, TIA is grounded in statute and embedded in the Foundation School Program (FSP), providing a sustainable, long-term funding structure for recognizing and retaining effective educators across Texas.

Valley View ISD worked with stakeholders during the 2025–2026 school year to develop a local designation system. VVISD submitted its application in the spring of 2026. The application was approved in June 2026, and VVISD will be in a data-capture year during the 2026–2027 school year.
