Universal Citation: 19 TX Admin Code ยง 102.1313
Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024
(a) A district innovation plan may be amended, rescinded, or renewed if the action is approved by a majority vote of the district-level committee established under Texas Education Code (TEC), §11.251, or a comparable committee if the district is exempt from that section, and a two-thirds majority vote of the board of trustees.
(1) Amendment. An amendment
to an approved plan does not change the date of the term of designation as an
innovation district. Exemptions that were already formally approved are not
required to be reviewed.
(2)
Rescission. A district must notify the Texas Education Agency within five
business days of rescission and provide a date at which time it will be in
compliance with all sections of the TEC, but no later than the start of the
following school year.
(3) Renewal.
During renewal, all sections of the plan and exemptions shall be reviewed and
the district must follow all components outlined in §
102.1307 of this title (relating
to Adoption of Local Innovation Plan), except that a district is not required
to notify the commissioner of education of the board's intention to vote on the
adoption of the proposed plan under §
102.1307(a)(2) of
this title.
(A) A district must meet
eligibility requirements under §
102.1303 of this title (relating
to Eligibility) in order to renew an innovation plan.
(B) In the event that a district fails to
renew a plan prior to the expiration of its term, a district may renew the plan
in the six months subsequent to the plan's date of expiration in order to
maintain a continuous designation as a district of innovation.
(i) The term of a renewed plan, subject to
§
102.1311 of this title (relating
to Term), may not begin prior to the date on which the board votes to adopt the
renewed plan, unless the plan is adopted during the six months subsequent to
the plan's date of expiration.
(ii)
If a plan is renewed during the timeline described in this subparagraph, the
renewed plan will have a term not to exceed five calendar years, beginning on
the date of expiration of the prior term.
(iii) If a plan is renewed during the
timeline described in this subparagraph and changes are made to the plan during
the renewal process, those changes will be in effect from the date of adoption
of the renewed plan through the expiration date of the renewed plan, unless
amended, rescinded, or terminated.
(iv) If changes are made to the plan during
the renewal process, the district shall mark the changes with the date of the
vote to renew the plan in order to denote the earliest date those changes may
take effect.
(v) A district whose
plan is not renewed during the timeline described in this subparagraph shall
comply with all previously adopted exemptions immediately upon expiration of
the plan and begin the adoption process over again in its entirety should the
district wish to pursue designation as a district of innovation in the
future.
(b) The district shall notify the commissioner of any actions taken pursuant to subsection (a) of this section along with the associated TEC exemptions and local approval dates.
