100 Texas Schools Invited to Participate in Governors Educator Excellence Award Program
In November 2005, Governor Rick Perry initiated the $10 million grant program for paying bonuses to school employees who have performed above expectations in raising student performance levels. One hundred Texas schools have been invited to participate in the Governors Educator Excellence Award Program. To date, 98 have accepted the invitation.
The chosen Texas Schools have a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Each school has demonstrated high levels of student achievement or marked student improvement. Each has been rated exemplary or recognized, which are the two top academic ratings that can be awarded to a school under the Texas schools accountability system; or they have shown strong performance gains in the areas of mathematics and reading.
Each school may apply for a three-year grant as follows:
-> Schools with 449 students or less $60,000 a year grant,
-> With 450 to 699 students $90,000 a year grant,
-> 700 to 1,199 student $135,000 a year grant, or
-> 1,200 students or more $180,000 a year grant.
