District of Innovation Plan

The District of Innovation concept, passed by the 84th Texas Legislative Session in House Bill 1842, gives traditional public-school districts the flexibility available to Texas charter schools. The law is intended to give districts more local control to suit their individual needs. To be granted these flexibilities, the district must adopt a District of Innovation plan. The term of the designation as a District of Innovation may not exceed 5 years and a renewal must be made to continue as a District of Innovation. 918 out of 1,026 Districts in Texas are Districts of Innovation. Final plans must be approved by the District Educational Improvement Council and the Comal ISD school board.
