List of Rural Campuses

Designated teachers that work on rural campuses will generate greater allotments.  Campuses are designated as rural if they meet one or more of the following definitions:

  • a campus within a district with fewer than 5,000 enrolled students that is categorized as a rural district type by the Texas Education Agency (TEA or agency)
  • a campus within a district with fewer than 5,000 enrolled students categorized as rural by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)
  • a campus defined in TEC, §48.112(a)(1)(A) and (B) that are categorized as rural by NCES in districts with an enrollment of less than 5,000

A list of rural campuses for the 2019-2020 academic year is now available.

System Application

Applications for the district designation system have posted.  See below for cohort-specific applications and instructions.  A webinar on how to complete the system application is available.

List of Districts that Submitted a Letter of Intent-

A list of districts that expressed interest in developing a local designation system through the online submission of a letter of intent is posted. The letter of intent was an initial, non-binding expression of interest in TIA. 

This is not a pre-requisite for applying for TIA, does not represent final cohort status, and does not require previous stakeholder engagement.  Districts can choose to apply under more than one cohort in order to accommodate additional groups of eligible teachers.
