School district recipient of ‘Innovative District’ accolade

BOERNE — The Center for Model Schools has named the Boerne Independent School District a 2024 “Innovative District” for its systemwide focus on instruction and organization structures to increase student growth with college, career, and military readiness.

Boerne ISD is one of only 12 Innovative Districts from across the country that will share its best practices at CMS’s 32nd annual Model Schools Conference June 23-26 in Orlando, Florida.

Bryan Benway, Boerne ISD director of communications, said the CMS conference provides a professional learning forum for thousands of passionate educators and leaders to network together and support one another.

BISD’s presentation, titled “Raising the Bar with CCMR,” will be led by Larissa Flores, BISD chief instructional officer, along with Heather Willis, Career and Technical education director, Cindy Bills, advanced academics director, and Principals Shane Wilson, Boerne High School, and Dr. Beto Hinojosa, Champion High School.

The Boerne team will be sharing details on the success of CCMR district initiatives and how the implementation of these initiatives has led to a 15% increase from 2022 to 2023.

“Innovative Districts are strategic about decision making and are purpose driven,” Dr. Linda Lucey, program chair and CMS associate partner, said. “Each of the 2024 Innovative Districts have leadership teams continuously focused on developing cultures of success.”

Selected annually based on rigorous criteria, Innovative Districts have evidence of growth year over year; aligned vision and structures; and are intentional about instructional decisions.

CMS, formerly the International Center for Leadership in Education, is a division of learning company Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. To learn more about the 32nd annual Model Schools conference, visit: ModelSchoolsConference.com.
