West Independent School District Home

During the April Regular Meeting on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, the district honored 39 West ISD teachers who were recently recognized by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for 2024-2025 TIA designation. These outstanding teachers are slated to receive portions of just under $500,000 from the state in incentive pay.

TIA helps elevate the education profession by providing an accessible pathway to a higher salary in order to recruit promising new teachers, retain the best teachers, and reward top-performing teachers.

TIA is built to provide lasting funds for outstanding Texas teachers to remain in the classroom and improve student outcomes. Through approved local designation systems, districts can identify and designate outstanding teachers based on student growth and classroom observation. Teachers can earn one of three levels of designation – Recognized, Exemplary, or Master. West ISD is truly blessed with many outstanding teachers. The district greatly appreciates the efforts by the TEA to provide the TIA designations and incentive pay.

During the December Regular Meeting on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, the district held a Public Hearing on the new Texas Education Agency (TEA) Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) Report information and rating. West ISD is proud to announce that our Business and Finance Office received a 98 (A) Superior Achievement rating. This state school financial accountability rating system strives to ensure that all Texas public school systems are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and maximum budget allocations provided for direct instructional purposes. West ISD is most grateful to JoAnna Macik, Jenny Tacker, and Cindy Webre for all their hard work and sound financial stewardship. This 98 rating is one of the highest ever recorded for West ISD, and an improvement from the 94 (A) achieved two years ago.
