    Bonus Program

    We’re excited to be able to issue reward bonuses for strong performance and meaningful contributions in our organization.

    Performance Bonus

    Staff members eligible for this bonus type have the opportunity to earn 3 or 6% of their base salary annually based on performance goal attainment.

    Tenure Bonus

    Staff members eligible for this bonus type will be rewarded a $1,500 bonus at every 3 year service milestone to thank them from their contributions through their years of service.

    Teacher Incentive Allotment Bonus

    The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) is a provision in Texas House Bill 3 that gives school districts the opportunity to create a local designation system that identifies the top 30% of classroom teachers state-wide as “recognized,” “exemplary,” and “master”. Uplift Education was awarded to be in the first cohort of the TIA program to provide state-funded incentive pay to high-performing teachers. Individual Uplift teachers who earn the state designation will earn thousands of additional dollars annually.  Because we value our top quality teachers who have dedicated their careers to serving our scholars and communities, Uplift has designated 90% of the TIA funds to go directly to designated teachers.  Most other districts are using the allotment money to offset costs of existing strategic compensation structures.  At Uplift, this bonus is ON TOP of what teachers can earn through other bonuses and stipends.
