Innovation schools were established through the Innovation Schools Act

Innovation schools are District-managed schools that have the ability to seek waivers of select District policies, State Statutes, and/or Collective Bargaining Agreement provisions with the goal of encouraging schools and districts to design and implement innovative practices in a wide variety of areas for the purpose of improving student outcome

All waived policies require a replacement policy that ensures schools are complying with the original intent and meeting minimum requirements
-
Common District policy waivers include curriculum, schedule, and composition of the Collaborative school committee
-
Common State Statute waivers include calendar and hiring processes.

Common waivers from the DCTA collective bargaining agreement include schedule, hiring, and dismissal procedures
