What is TIA?
Who is Eligible Year One?
A state-supported initiative focused on improving teacher pay, strengthening recruitment, and retaining high-quality educators. Through our local designation system, teachers who earn a designation generate additional state funding — and 90% of that funding goes directly to the teacher.
The first cohort will include Reading and Math teachers in:
- 2nd through 8th Grade
- English I and II
- Algebra I
Phase 1
2nd-8th Grade
– Math
– Reading
High School
– English I
– English II
– Algebra I
Phase 2

Compensation
When a teacher earns a designation, the district receives additional funding from the state. NBISD has committed that 90% of that allotment goes directly to the teacher.
In Year One, designated teachers will receive a one-time lump sum payment in their August paycheck. In future years, teachers will receive annual stipends distributed in May and August.
