District of Innovation

A District of Innovation is a concept passed by the 84th Legislative Session in House Bill 1842, effective immediately, that gives traditional independent school districts most of the flexibilities available to Texas’ open enrollment charter schools. To access these flexibilities, a school district must adopt an innovation plan, as set forth in the Texas Education Code chapter 12A. (TASB)

Forney ISD has chosen to explore and pursue this opportunity for flexibility to create new opportunities for and better serve our students.

District of Innovation Committee

The District of Innovation Advisory Committee will meet as needed to review the current District of Innovation Plan and propose possible amendments to the school board. The original DOI Plan was adopted by the Forney ISD Board of Trustees in 2016. Amendments may be adopted by the board at any time. The committee is made up of members from a diverse group of parents, teachers, campus administrators, and district leadership.
