HB 1842 (2015) created the law that allows for the designation of Districts of Innovation (DOI). The law can be found in Chapter 12A of the Texas Education Code (TEC). This chapter provides that a traditional school district that is rated acceptable or better may create a district-level innovation plan, potentially including exemptions from the vast majority of the TEC, which constitutes the state’s regulatory framework and statutory safety net for public schools.

A Public Hearing on the new DOI plan was held on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, at 6:00 PM during the Regular March Board Meeting at the West ISD Administration Building located at 406 W. Shook Street. Following the Public Hearing, the Board voted 7-0 to approve the new plan.

The District would like to thank the taxpayers of West for approving the November Special Election Proposition for additional funding to increase all teacher and staff salaries. The teachers and staff of West ISD are most appreciative of your support.
