The meeting with Superintendent Jeff Irvin was a surprise presentation to the first group of teachers in Quinlan ever to receive Teacher Incentive Allotments or TIAs.
– A small North Texas school district had a big surprise for nearly two dozen of its teachers.
A total of 19 teachers from Quinlan ISD were called into a meeting they weren’t expecting with their superintendent on Friday, Feb. 18.“I was immediately negative for whatever reason and I ran out of the classroom,” says Jody Delzell, a Ford High School English teacher. “I needed to get another job too because my daughter being in college is a chunk of money,” says Delzell.“I have talked about maybe I need to leave to support my family,” she said.
It’s a recent state program that rewards educators whose students show progress with financial bonuses.In Delzell’s case. It’s $26,000 every year over the next five years.
