Overview of the Mentor Program Allotment
The 89th Texas Legislature has established new policy regarding new teacher mentorship in Texas. The Mentor Program Allotment will be repealed as of September 1, 2026. Therefore, School Year 2025-26 will be the final year of MPA implementation and there will not be a future application. Any school systems interested in receiving funding for new teacher mentorship should apply to the PREP Mentorship Program via the LASO 4 application. The LASO 4 application will be open from October 3, 2025 – December 3, 2025.
The Mentor Program Allotment (MPA) provides districts the opportunity to build or sustain beginning teacher mentoring programs aligned to research-based mentoring best practices with the primary goal of increasing student outcomes through increased beginning teacher retention and effectiveness. Districts across the state may opt into MPA and, in doing so, commit to a rigorous set of requirements for mentors, district leaders, and campus leaders supporting beginning teachers. Participating districts may use MPA funds on mentor stipends, release time, and providers of mentor training.
MPA Cycle 4 runs from school year 2025-26 through school year 2027-28.
