Spending Plan

Statute requires that 90% of Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) funds be distributed directly to teachers at the designated teacher’s campus:

• The individual TIA-designated teacher will be allocated 70% of the teacher TIA dollars for distribution.
• The other 20% will be consolidated at the campus level and then evenly distributed among other high-performing teachers (PEIMS 087) that meet the District’s criteria for high performance.
  The District shall retain 10% of the TIA dollars to use as follows:
• to support district oversight of the implementation of TIA and ongoing development of TIA resources.

For campuses with higher need (demonstrated by a trend of low accountability rating and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged), the district may increase the distribution to the TIA-designated teacher to 85% and the remaining 15% would be used for distribution to other teachers who meet the District’s requirement as high-performing in order to greater incentivize high performing
teachers to teach at these high-need campuses.

This same compensation plan will be used for designated teachers entering CFBISD with a designation and distributed as described according to their campus assignment.

TIA compensation is an annual allotment provided by the State and subject to availability of state funding allocations.

• TIA-designated teachers will receive TIA compensation annually based on their TIA designation and TIA state funding for their campus of assignment at the time TIA funds are disbursed.
• Other teachers designated as high-performing by CFBISD will receive TIA compensation annually based on TIA state funding for their campus of assignment at the time TIA funds are disbursed. Amounts will vary depending on the number of TIA-designated teachers employed at the campus.
• Compensation will be distributed in the August paycheck, provided all information is received per TEA’s published timelines.

TIA compensation amounts will be included in the annual wages reported to the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and will be used when calculating retirement benefits.

TIA compensation amounts received will include typical reductions from the allotment received to cover the cost of TRS, on-behalf payments, Medicare, Workers Compensation, and any other pertinent deductions.

If a TIA designated teacher retires from CFBISD after the Class Roster Winter Submission, the teacher will receive the funding amount allocated to them based on the TIA approved by TEA. These funds will be paid prior to August 31st.

If a TIA designated teacher leaves CFBISD for reasons other than retirement after the Class Roster Winter Submission, the teacher will not receive the funding amount allocated to them based on the TIA approved by TEA. The TIA funds will be re-distributed at the campus where the TIA designated teacher was employed at Class Roster Winter Submission.

If a teacher eligible for a distribution from the shared TIA compensation pool retires from CFBISD after the Class Roster Winter Submission, the teacher will receive the funding amount allocated to them based on the TIA approved by TEA. These funds will be paid prior to August 31st.

If a teacher eligible for a distribution from the shared TIA compensation pool leaves CFBISD for reasons other than retirement after the Class Roster Winter Submission, the teacher will not receive the funding amount allocated to them based on the TIA approved by TEA. The TIA funds will be re-distributed at the campus where the TIA designated teacher was employed at Class Roster Winter Submission.
