District of Innovation

The Temple ISD Board of Trustees approved and adopted the district’s Local District of Innovation Plan on March 19, 2018 and amendments to the plan were approved on May 14, 2018. These action followed an extensive process that began in the fall of 2017 and included the establishment of a local planning committee to develop the plan along with a month-long period for gathering community input and feedback. 

Established by the 84th Texas Legislature, the District of Innovation distinction gives traditional independent school districts in Texas access to many of the flexibilities offered to Texas’ open enrollment charter schools.
