Pay for performance for the
Tyler Independent School District is designed to reward campus
level employees for academic excellence. Only campuses that
receive a campus number and an individualized campus rating will
be eligible to participate in performance pay. Rewards will be
based on Recognized or Exemplary ratings and significant gains
in scores.
ELIGIBILITY:
The reward will be distributed to campus employees eligible for
employee benefits, eligible for the annual pay increase, served
on the campus as an employee on January 15, 2007 and has
continuous employment with Tyler ISD through September 15, 2007.
ALLOCATION:
The Board of Trustees will approve the specific amount annually
when the budget is adopted. Once the award is established and
approved, the amount awarded to each campus will be based on
eligible employees and their job classification.
Note: An employee will receive
pay for only the highest achieved category. Rewards will be
issued according to the position held when the rating was
earned. Reward payments will be made shortly after final
receipt of the district AEIS report. Professionals will receive
100% of the achieved category and paraprofessionals/manual
trades will receive 50% of the applicable reward. Schools with
75% or more students who are economically disadvantaged will
receive an additional 30% for achieving Exemplary status or an
additional 15% for Recognized status.
