Vernon ISD participates in the TIA program because we want to recruit, retain, and REWARD our highly-qualified teachers. We want to provide ongoing opportunities for teacher professional growth and continually strive to improve student outcomes.

Teacher designations generate additional teacher-focused allotment funding for districts to reward and retain their most effective teachers. Teachers earn designations through two different routes. First, National Board Certified teachers are eligible to earn a Recognized designation. Second, districts may designate their effective teachers when they are approved for a local teacher designation system. The approval process is multi-step and includes the submission of a system application to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and then a data validation process through Texas Tech University. 

The allotment amounts below are as of March 1, 2025. Each year the allotment amount may be adjusted by TEA. To see the most up date allotment amounts, please visit the TIA Funding Map.

Allotment amounts listed below are the 100% allotment. Teachers receive 90% of the allotment amount, prior to any required deductions.
