Staff at 29 schools awarded $3.8 million in state teacher incentive pay
Campuses will be holding celebrations for staff members next week to deliver "bonus" checks funded by the state's teacher incentive pay programs.
Teachers and staff at a total of 29 campuses are receiving anywhere from $100 to more than $5,000, depending on the subject and grade level they teach. The total amount of incentive money NISD campuses are receiving is about $3.8 million.

The grant money comes from the District Awards for Teacher Excellence (DATE) and the Texas Educator Excellence Grant (TEEG) and is earmarked for schools whose students received high scores or showed significant improvement on the TAKS test.
Recipients must have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, and all schools must be rated Recognized or Exemplary under the state's accountability system, or show strong performance gains in math and reading.
