District of Innovation
During the 84th Texas Legislative Session in Spring 2015, House Bill 1842 was passed. House Bill 1842 provided the opportunity for Texas public school districts to pursue the designation of District of Innovation. This allows local school districts to obtain exemptions from certain provisions of the Texas Education Code to afford more flexibility and local control for innovative programming. This legislature afforded school districts the opportunity to seek the designation: District of Innovation.
Districts of Innovation may be exempt from a myriad of state statutes and will have:
-
Greater control as the decision maker over the educational and instructional model for students;
-
Increased freedom and flexibility, with accountability, relative to state mandates that govern educational programming; and
-
Empowerment to innovate and think differently
Districts are not exempt from statutes including curriculum, graduation requirements, academic and financial accountability.
In order to be qualified for the designation as a District of Innovation, a school district’s most recent academic performance rating must at least be acceptable.
Purpose:
The purpose of this local innovation plan is to delineate and articulate the approaches undertaken by the West Sabine Independent School District to increase innovation. Intentionally, the WSISD Local Intervention Committee evaluated and isolated opportunities that would allow the District to persist in pursuit of unparalleled results through flexibility and greater local control. This increased flexibility and local control is provided to Texas public schools through realizing the designation as a District of Innovation.
Term:
The West Sabine ISD Local Innovation Plan will begin in the 2023-24 (August 1) school year and continue until the conclusion of the 2027-2028 (August 1) school year.
About West Sabine ISD
Tiger Nation has made the commitment to our constituents to see that every child excels in the areas of Academics, Athletics, and the Arts, propelling them into the “real world” as college or career ready and capable individuals. We strive to commit, give, and hold ourselves to the highest standards in raising the bar for all that come through our doors.
Our district primarily serves the Pineland, Bronson, Rosevine, Plainview, and Centerview communities through our Elementary (PK-5) and High School (6-12) campuses. We are classified as a 2A district with an enrollment of 670+ students. Our district has partnerships with local colleges that offer our students dual credits and pathways to career and college readiness. Also, we have long standing competitive traditions in extracurricular and cocurricular activities including Football, Basketball, Softball, Baseball, and Track and Field. Further, there are many other non sport activities such as Student Council, Cheer, Family Career and Community Leaders of America, Future Farmers of America, Band, Twirling, Academic UIL and a host of other clubs and organizations to meet the needs of our students. Through these organizations, our kids learn leadership skills and lessons that have advanced some into district, regional, and even national leadership positions.
We are a family friendly district that hosts many parent involvement days, family nights, town hall meetings, community/parent based committees, and opportunities for parents and community members to be a part of the Tiger family. Also, there are many opportunities throughout the community for our students to be involved and enriched in activities such as taekwondo, baseball, softball, tball, football, karate, archery, 4H, and many other activities.
