A local innovation plan must be developed for a school district before the district may be designated as an Innovation District. A local plan must provide for a comprehensive educational program for the district, which may include:

  • Innovative Curriculum
  • Instructional Methods
  • Community Participation
  • Governance of Campuses
  • Parental Involvement
  • Modifications to the school day or year
  • Provisions regarding the district budget and sustainable program funding
  • Accountability and assessment measures that exceed the requirements of state and federal law; and
  • Any other innovations prescribed by the board of trustees.
