The Onalaska Independent School District Board of Trustees set its January meeting date and continued action for the state’s teacher salary-incentive program during the last regular meeting.

The Onalaska School Board cut the meeting for December and set an official date for their next regular meeting on Jan. 23, also in honor of January Board Appreciation Month. The board also approved and submitted and moved its application process to the Texas Incentive Allotment program (TIA), created by the Texas Legislature as part of House Bill 3 to help recruit, retain, and reward effective educators in the classroom at high-needs campuses.
