All About TIA
House Bill 3 was passed by the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019 with the primary goal to recruit, reward, and retain highly effective teachers, and to give outstanding teachers access to six-figure salaries. Through TIA, districts are able to incentivize excellent teachers while keeping them in the classroom to improve student outcomes.
