The Dallas ISD seemingly is becoming more and more the Dallas INCENTIVE pay School District. GEEG, TEEG, DATE and TIF incentive pay plans.

Principal's Incentive Pay, Teacher's Incentive Pay, High Needs Incentive Pay. On and on and on. The Teacher's Incentive Pay Plan piloted this year in fifty-nine schools is supposedly going district-wide next year.

Well, I know that many of these incentive pay plans are being paid for, for now, by state and federal grants. These grants have requirements on the participating districts to pick up so much of the cost in "matching funds". Here's a question...or two. Exactly how much of the District's budget is being spent on these "matching funds"? How much of the District's budget will be spent to make the Teacher's Incentive Pay Plan a district-wide plan? Or three... Where will the District get all of this money?
