HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
2019-2020 Recruitment Incentive Proposal
OVERVIEW
Recruitment incentives are an important and highly-utilized tool in Dallas ISD’s talent acquisition plan. Surrounding
school districts and all major cities across the state of Texas offer incentive and stipend packages to attract teaching
candidates. Therefore, in order to remain competitive for the top educational talent in the state, it’s imperative to
continue the recruitment incentive initiative.
This initiative was borne out of an intense need to attract teacher candidates in hard-to-staff areas. The main goal is to
offer financial incentives that will attract high-quality educators in order to create a larger talent pool and help fill
vacancies for the District. Thus far, the incentives have been effective in achieving this goal and a majority of teachers
who received an incentive reported in a recent survey stated that it impacted their decision to accept an offer with
Dallas ISD. As these financial incentives are targeted at teachers in critical needs and hard-to-staff areas, the District
becomes more competitive with other Texas school districts.
There have been three consistent recruitment incentives in place for several years: Elementary Bilingual: $4,000,
Secondary Math: $3,000, and Secondary Science: $3,000. An additional Career & Technology Education incentive was
added for the current school year of $3,000.
For the upcoming school year, the Human Capital Management Department (HCM) is proposing to continue the process
of offering recruitment incentives to attract candidates to high-needs and hard-to-staff teaching areas. The following
chart displays the incentives that have been proposed.

Secondary mathematics 120 $3,000 $360,000
Secondary science 120 $3,000 $360,000

Special Education** 50 $3,000 $150,000
Elementary bilingual 320 $4,000 $1,280,000
Total 625 - $2,195,000
*The Career & Technology (“CTE”) incentives are specifically designated for CTE candidates hired to teach one of the following
classes: High School Engineering, High School Health Science, High School Culinary Arts, High School Arts, A/V, and Communications,
and High School Information Technology. These classes were chosen in conjuction with the CTE Department due to being the most
difficult-to-staff positions.
**The Special Education incentives are specifically designated for Special Education candidates hired to teach in Behavioral and
Autism units. These positions were chosen in conjuction with the Special Education Department due to being the most difficult-to-
staff positions.
