Northside ISD is looking to remain competitive by adopting the plan, which allows districts to have more local control.
A committee made up of Northside ISD teachers, parents, community members, principals and district staff came together to decide on a draft District of Innovation plan as they seek to put NISD on even-footing with public charter schools.Northside Independent School District has started the process to become a District of Innovation, which would allow it to be exempt from certain laws in the Texas Education Code that include start dates, teacher certifications and campus behavior coordinators.
“For a long time, Northside didn’t necessarily need those flexibilities,” she said. “But as COVID has sort of affected us all, and the teacher shortages have affected us across not only the city but the state, there are things and flexibilities in the District of Innovation [plan] that would really allow us to stay competitive with our surrounding districts.”
The district is hoping to have the plan approved by its board in April and to become a District of Innovation soon after.Franco said the district's plan is not set in stone and can be amended based on feedback from the community and the board. The Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System “has been written really to support a statewide … evaluation system,” Franco said. ”So many districts will write their own that is more tailored to the expectations of the teachers in their district.”
According to Boerne's plan, which was renewed this year after initially taking effect in 2017, that flexibility “provides an opportunity for the district to determine guidelines for managing larger class sizes, which provides consistency across the district.” “In the event of an act of God, such as inclement weather, or a national security issue that prevents RFISD from holding class, the district seeks additional flexibility under this section.”
