Timpson ISD Teachers Receive Teacher Incentive Allotment Payout

August 15, 2024 – The payouts for the Teacher Incentive Allotment designations have been received by qualifying TISD teachers! The teachers were recognized at the monthly Timpson ISD school board meeting on Tuesday, August 13.

When Timpson ISD’s Teacher Incentive Allotment designations were approved last spring, qualifying teachers became eligible to receive TEA pay stipends depending on their level of designation - Recognized, Exemplary, and Master.

TISD is thrilled to announce that 17 teachers qualified for these pay stipends! A teacher’s designation is based on student growth and teacher observation scores. The stipends will range from $3,000 to $32,000, with evaluations occurring each year. Every single teacher at Timpson ISD will now have the opportunity to designate and advance their designation levels. Over $232,000 was awarded to qualifying teachers this year.

Congratulations to the following teachers and thank you for your hard work and dedication to the students in the district!
