District of Innovation Plan Renewal | 2025-2030
Overview
House Bill 1842, passed during the 84th Texas Legislation Session, affords Texas public school districts the opportunity to pursue a designation as a District of Innovation (DOI). The DOI designation provides districts the flexibility to obtain exemptions from certain provisions of the Texas Education Code (TEC) to increase local control over District Operations and to support local initiatives. On November 12, 2019, the Killeen Independent School District’s Board of Trustees adopted a resolution to initiate the process of becoming a District of Innovation. The purpose of adopting the resolution was to increase local control over the first day of instruction to address a comprehensive education program. KISD’s District of Innovation Plan is designed to support the district vision and goals.
District Vision
