The District of Innovation concept, passed by the 84th Texas legislature, gives traditional independent school districts some of the flexibilities available to Texas’ open-enrollment charter schools. Following a months-long development process as required in state law, on December 17, 2018, during its regularly scheduled board business meeting, the Hays CISD Board of Trustees adopted a District of Innovation Plan to further personalize how instruction is delivered to students. On April 20, 2020, following the required process, the Board of Trustees amended the plan. This webpage contains the original plan with amendments and supporting documentation.
