Plano Schools Earn $300,000
in AP/IB Incentive Awards

August 25, 2006

Nine Plano ISD schools have earned a total of more than $300,000 in campus awards and teacher bonuses in the Texas Education Agency's (TEA) Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate (AP/IB) Incentive Awards Program for May, 2005, examinations.

The incentive program allows TEA to award up to $100 for each student scoring a three or higher on an AP exam or four or higher on an IB exam. Due to the availability of funds from the 2005 fiscal year, an additional award is provided to each school for the deposit of up to $50 in the teacher bonus pool for each student enrolled. Teachers who instruct College Board AP or IB courses are eligible to receive a share of the bonus pool funds.
