Happy Friday!
It truly is a Happy Friday for 23 of our outstanding teachers in Mineola ISD. Today, $203,505 dollars was paid out to outstanding teachers in our District as part of the Teacher Incentive Allotment Program created by the Texas Education Agency and funded by the State of Texas. This program rewards high-performing teachers for excellence in the classroom based on student growth and principal evaluations.
Teacher checks ranged in value depending on their Teacher Designation which can be Recognized, Exemplary, or Master status. Payments ranged from $4,866 dollars up to $18,352 depending on the designation received. Teachers receiving these designations will receive this amount each year for the next five years!
I personally want to thank Assistant Superintendent, David Sauer for the countless hours he invested on behalf of our teachers and campus principals. The complexity of this was extremely challenging. A special thanks as well to our Campus Administrators who were called to do even more in regard to teacher evaluations so that our teachers would have this opportunity to be a part of the program. And finally, congratulations again to all of our outstanding teachers that received designations. I hope that we can award even more next year!
Have a great weekend!
