A District of Innovation Plan allows a school district to exempt itself from certain state laws that restrict local flexibility, as long as eligibility requirements are met along with a formal adoption process.

This specific DOI approval would provide the district with flexibility in administering grievance procedures under GF, FNG, and DGBA. This amendment would authorize the district to manage grievance processes locally, ensuring procedures are aligned with district needs while maintaining fairness and compliance through locally developed processes.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approves the District of Innovation Amendment as presented.
