Government awards some Texas schools, districts $250 million for teacher incentive pay

Most teachers get paid based on the years they’ve taught and degrees they’ve earned, not on how well they do their job. Some Texas schools and districts have won more than $250 million in federal grants to change that longtime practice. Today, the U.S. Department of Education awarded a new round of Teacher Incentive Fund grants, designed to reward top educators in schools with a large share of poor students.
