PSJA ISD

PSJA ISD has received a five-year renewal approval from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for its Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) Local Designation System, reaffirming the district's ability to recognize, reward, and retain highly effective educators through the state's performance-based designation program.

The renewal application, submitted in Spring 2026, was approved by TEA following a rigorous review and validation process. As part of the renewal process, the district refined and strengthened elements of its designation system to ensure continued alignment with state standards and best practices.

PSJA ISD is celebrating a significant milestone in its commitment to innovative teaching and learning as six district educators have been accepted into Texas Tech University's prestigious Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Blended and Personalized Learning.

This achievement stems from a strategic partnership established through the district's participation in the Texas Education Agency's Blended Learning Grant initiative.

The collaboration began after district representatives attended an informational session at the Blended Learning Grant Fall Summit.
