Superintendent Neil Jeter, alongside Troy ISD staff, celebrated teachers under the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) Program by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The TIA Program is designed to identify and reward top-performing teachers in Texas school districts, aiming to recruit, support, and retain highly effective educators who exemplify our district's standards of excellence in learning.

Troy ISD was awarded $339,538 in incentive allotments, benefiting a group of 26 teachers in the district as well as others who contributed to student success. The program's primary objective is to prioritize educators, incentivizing their continued commitment to the classroom while aligning campuses with the district's mission and vision initiatives.

Teachers eligible for the TIA can earn one of three designations: Recognized, Exemplary, or Master. Two key metrics in evaluating teachers were: Student growth percentages and teacher evaluation scores.
