Beginning with the 2023-24 school year, VISD will be in its inaugural year of implementing the VISD Academy to Certify Teachers. One component of this academy is the BRIDGE program. The BRIDGE program is a pathway for educators who have been employed with VISD as a paraprofessional or substitute and have received a strong recommendation from their campus administrator. BRIDGE participants who agree to enroll in a university program leading to Texas teacher certification may apply for classroom instructor positions within VISD. Upon being hired for this role, classroom instructors will enroll in a university program leading to teacher certification, and VISD will pay up to $7,000 a year towards their college tuition. During the 2023-24 school year, VISD will again be looking for paraprofessionals who work for the district and are interested in becoming educators to be selected for year two of the BRIDGE program, which will kick off in 2024 for the 2024-25 school year. For more information about this program, please contact tasr@visd.net.
