The Texas Education Agency approved a $1.55 million program, which will reward more than 160 Pearland ISD teachers with extra compensation.
While Pearland ISD said they aren't experiencing a shortage of substitute teachers, they're doing this in an effort to keep things that way.

Documents say 18-year-old Ty Scott Manning would sometimes take photos under the desks of fellow students, or as they were walking up the stairs.
The tortilla chip -- which can be purchased widely at stores and on Amazon -- is seasoned with some of the hottest peppers in the world and reportedly caused some participants to get sick.
A big congratulations to a local Pearland senior who is among one of two nationwide $40,000 scholarship winners.
