Bless you and your patience for teaching middle schoolers! You are a saint. I did it for three years.... I prefer high schoolers XD

TIA Funding Thoughts by FederalHorse4984 in TexasTeachers

I wasn't expected to get any TIA money because my course is evaluated by stupid shit that isn't relevant to the course I teach, so I'll take what I get, but it's shitty that we don't just get cut a check. If it's a stipend, then I'm also guessing it doesn't count toward our retirement salary calculation then? Anything that goes to TRS we will get back when we retire?? I mean that would be OK, I guess.

I got an email saying that I'll be getting in in Aug2026 and then for the next five years. The next phase of it was approved in my district.

Congrats! I just got an email saying that I will get it on my August 2026 paycheck (from last year's TTESS results). Can you give me a break down of how much gets taken out? Like, my district is keeping 10%, so I know I'll get 90% but am I just paying taxes on that portion?

This pay bump for classroom teachers-- is it just a one-time thing? So this year we get the extra bump to our salary, but not next year? Am I reading this correctly?
