Description:  Each month until application submission, the board of trustees has received a status update regarding TIA. District administrators have been attending TIA training and work sessions via webinars and in person in preparation of applying for TIA. At its December 15, 2025 meeting, the board decided to conduct a workshop meeting to learn more in-depth workings of TIA.
The administration will lead discussions on TIA in general with some narrower focuses on main components such as teacher observations, student growth, and pay plan.
