District Of Innovation

The 84th Legislative Session passed House Bill 1842, allowing Texas public school districts to become Districts of Innovation and thus permitting exemption from specific provisions of the Texas Education Code. Progreso ISD seeks to become a District of Innovation to serve better and accommodate all members' diverse needs. This distinction allows the district to increase local control over district operations to improve the quality of services benefiting all stakeholders.

The Board of Trustees adopted a resolution to initiate Progreso ISD becoming a District of Innovation on January 24, 2025. The District Innovation Committee (DIC) met on April 4, 2025 to develop the plan. The proposed Progreso ISD District of Innovation Plan will be posted on the district website for 30 days (April 4, 2025 - May 5, 2025).
