from CMS, DMDC will update the 

Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting 

System (DEERS) with appropriate 

Medicare information provided in the 

response file. The verified identification 

of eligible beneficiaries and their 

current Medicare enrollment status is 

maintained in DEERS for use by the 

Defense Health Agency in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

TSL is to assist States, local educational 

agencies (LEAs), and nonprofit 

organizations to develop, implement, 

improve, or expand comprehensive 

Performance-Based Compensation 

Systems (PBCS) 1 or Human Capital 

Management Systems (HCMS) for 

teachers, principals, and other School 

Leaders (educators) (especially for 

educators in High-Need Schools who 

raise student growth and academic 

achievement and close the achievement 

gap between high- and low-performing 

students). In addition, a portion of TSL 

funds may be used to study the 

effectiveness, fairness, quality, 

consistency, and reliability of PBCS or 

HCMS for educators. 

Background: TSL is authorized under 

section 2212 of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act of 1965, as 

amended by the Every Student Succeeds 

Act (ESEA). 

The FY 2021 TSL competition is 

designed to support entities in 

implementing, improving, or expanding 

their HCMS, which by definition must 

include a PBCS, or implementing, 

improving, or expanding only a PBCS. 

Absolute Priority 1 is consistent with 

this purpose. TSL is also intended to 

primarily serve educators in High-Need 

Schools who raise student academic 

achievement and close the achievement 

gap between high- and low-performing 

students, although the program may also 

fund services for educators serving in 

high-need subject areas (though not 

necessarily in High-Need Schools), as 

determined by the LEA or the State. 

It is well established that teacher 

effectiveness contributes greatly to 

student academic outcomes, yet there is 

variation in teacher effectiveness within 

and across schools, including significant 

inequity in students’ access to effective 

teachers, particularly for students from 

low-income backgrounds, students of 

color, English learners, and students 

with disabilities. As such, it is essential 

to attract and retain a well-qualified, 

experienced, effective, and diverse pool 

of skilled educators who are prepared to 

teach diverse learners (e.g., through coteaching models, dual certifications, 

universal design for learning), 

particularly in High-Need Schools. 

Many States and LEAs have worked to 

create and improve their comprehensive 

HCMS, and LEAs have invested in highquality educator evaluation and support 

systems in order to improve recruitment 

and retention efforts, provide educators 

with meaningful feedback and targeted 

Evidence-Based professional 

development, and use information 

across multiple indicators of educator 

performance to inform key school- and 

district-level decisions. In contrast to 

earlier Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) 

competitions, the Department, in the 

2017 and 2020 TSL competitions, as 

well as the 2016 Teacher Incentive Fund 

(TIF) competition, funded projects that 

encompassed broader HCMS, including 

spending decisions related to 

professional development, that 

supported sustainable performancebased compensation. These 

competitions focused on projects under 

which grantees deployed a variety of 

human capital management strategies 

throughout an educator’s career 

trajectory (e.g., from pre-service through 

retention) to help support and sustain 

the grantees’ PBCS. For example, several 

grantees in these cohorts developed and 

implemented career ladders to give 

educators opportunities for leadership 

and advancement inside and outside the 

classroom, using program funds to 

supplement the salaries of master 

mentor teachers. 

Thus, through the two absolute 

priorities included in this notice, the 

Department seeks to ensure that this 

competition supports States and LEAs 

in their efforts to implement goals and 

objectives in ESEA consolidated State 

plans as well as lessons learned from 

close to two decades of investment and 

research in HCMS and PBCS. 

The Department has established a 

new definition of High-Need Schools 

that clarifies the requirement that TSL 

program activities primarily serve HighNeed Schools, and Absolute Priority 2 

addresses the extent to which TSLfunded grant project activities are 

concentrated in High-Need Schools. The 

Department established the definition 

and priority based on lessons learned 

from recent TSL competitions, which 

highlighted the need to better target the
