Blooming Grove Independent School District District of Innovation Plan 2026-2031
The Blooming Grove Independent School District's District of Innovation Plan outlines exemptions from specific provisions of the Texas Education Code, enabling increased local control and flexibility similar to charter schools to enhance educational outcomes. Key areas of innovation include adjustments to the first day of instruction, probationary contracts, teacher contract days, inter-district transfers, teacher assignments, class size regulations, teacher appraisal systems, school depository contracts, the 90 percent attendance rule, instructional plan disclosure, staff development, grievance policies, teacher planning time, school library advisory committees, parental conferences, and student transfers for children of peace officers and servicemembers.
