The Strategic Compensation Fellowship Grant provides Crowley ISD the opportunity to plan and implement salary-based strategic compensation systems, in alignment with funds received through the Teacher Incentive Allotment and supplemented with local funds.

Grantees will be districts or ESCs supporting districts that do not currently have a salary-based strategic compensation system in place. For the purpose of this grant, salary-based strategic compensation includes systems that change total salary based on effectiveness or other external factors, but do not include systems that change salary based on additional responsibilities (e.g., department chair add-on) or systems that include targeted stipends.
