Education Officials To Accept Innovation Zone Funding Applications
WEST VIRGINIA....
Shortly after Labor Day, State Department of Education officials will begin allowing new schools to apply for the second round of innovation zone funding. The Legislature has set aside $435,000 for planning grants. Innovation zones allow schools to waive many state laws and policies, such as requirements in the school calendar, and allows teachers to try out new, creative strategies to improve student learning. In January, state Board of Education members approved 19 innovation zones across the state.
