Maintain Compliance TIA Annual Program Submission
Districts that have issued designations must complete and submit the Annual Program Submission to maintain system approval and ensure compliance with statutory requirements. The Annual Program Submission requires districts to engage in analyzing the impact of the local designation system and focuses on continuous improvement.
The submission consists of two components and is due by August 31:
The first component is the Annual Program Submission form which requires districts to complete three parts:
- Part 1: Update contact information if needed.
- Part 2: Reflect using multiple sources of data, such as the TIA Evaluation Survey and data validation reports, to determine how they might adjust the system in future years.
- Part 3: Verify compliance of the spending of their TIA funds. The district must show they expended 100% of the previous school year’s Teacher Incentive Allotment by August 31 of the current school year and that they spent at least 90% on student-facing instructional staff on the campus where the designated teacher works and only spent at most 10% to support the designation system or to support teachers in getting designated.
The second component requires the district superintendent to sign an attestation form which is also required at submission to ensure compliance with statutory components.

Continuous Improvement TIA Annual Evaluation Survey
The TIA Annual Evaluation Survey, developed by Texas Tech University, is administered each spring to teachers, principals, and human resources. The survey is designed to gauge perceptions and support for the local designation system after implementation. The administration of these surveys is required for continued system approval.
Results are used as part of a continuous improvement cycle to monitor the perception and impact of the local designation system. Districts receive survey results in early July and must analyze and respond to the results in their Annual Program Submission the following fall.
