• 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. On this page, you will find the timeline FISD has laid out along with dates and agendas of meetings and public hearings, as well as resources provided by the Texas Education Agency and the Texas Association of School Boards.

     

     

    District of Innovation Committee Members

    The 2018-2019 District of Innovation Advisory Committee. The committee will meet annually to review the current District of Innovation Plan and propose possible amendments to the school board on an annual basis. The DOI Plan was adopted by the Forney ISD Board of Trustees in 2016 and extends through the 2020-21 school year. Amendments may be adopted by the board at any time. The committee is made up of 19 members from a diverse group of parents, teachers, campus administrators, and district leadership.
