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 Texas Education Code chapter 12A.

On May 17, 2017, the Fabens ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to adopt the Local Innovation Plan and designated Fabens as a District of Innovation!
