The Tulia ISD Trustees recently adopted the 2008-09 teacher salary schedule which puts Tulia in the top paying districts for similar districts in the Panhandle. In addition, teachers identified as Highly Qualified in math grades 6-12, science grades 6-12, or Spanish grades 9-12 will receive a stipend of $325 per section for these critical need areas, which could result in as much as $2,275 for seven class periods.

Teachers employed by the Tulia ISD for the first time for the 2008-09 school year will receive a $2,000 signing bonus, and new teachers for 2008-09 continuing to teach with the Tulia ISD will also receive a $1,000 bonus the next two school years. That's a total of $4,000 above and beyond the teacher salary schedule.

Tulia ISD is a flury of activity as the 2007-2008 school year comes to a close. A check of the Events Calendar reveals a schedule packed full of assemblies, concerts, banquets, field days, field trips, and more.  As the school year comes to a close, Tulia ISD wishes your family a safe and fun-filled summer vacation. We look forward to seeing you again in August.

Check the TISD website and Cable Channel 8 throughout the summer for updates on registration information, school supply lists, athletic announcements, and more.
