Fayetteville Teachers Cashing In Thanks to New Incentive Program

Fayetteville ISD has had a number of Teachers Recognized by the Teacher Incentive Allotment program, which provides extra funding to teachers and schools.

Ninety-percent of the money awarded to Fayetteville is going directly to the teachers who earned it. While five percent is going back to the district, and five percent is going to help fund specialty teachers in the district.

Teachers will be getting their checks in July, superintendent Dr. Jeff Harvey said.

The TIA was established with the goal of providing outstanding teachers an accessible pathway to a six-figure salary. Unlike previous education programs, the Teacher Incentive Allotment is not a grant. Through approved local designation systems, districts can identify and designate outstanding teachers based on student growth and classroom observation. Employing designated teachers generates extra funding for districts to reward top performers.
