FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - The U.S. Department of Education announced on Thursday that Fort Wayne Community Schools was among 35 nationwide school systems to win The Teacher Incentive Fund grant.
The grant, which is aimed to improve pay structures and provide greater professional opportunities to teachers in high poverty schools, totaled $15,330,197.
The 2012 Teacher Incentive Fund program encouraged districts to enhance educator compensation systems through one of two models – career ladders or performance-based pay with the option for additional responsibilities.
Applicants had to submit a general proposal or a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) focused proposal to be considered for the grant.
The 35 winners listed here were selected from a pool of over 120 applications. Award amounts represent the first 2 years of funding over the 5-year grant period. Continued funding is contingent upon congressional action.
