Dear Prospective Innovative School Operator,

Thank you for your interest in operating a high-performing school as part of the

North Carolina Innovative School District. We understand and appreciate the

challenge, dedication, and commitment it takes to open and manage a high

performing school.

We are looking for an organization to join our mission to change students’ futures by

partnering with local communities, districts, and the state with a focus on

accelerating achievement in low performing schools. This can only be accomplished

by putting in place a great education team focused on academic growth for students,

building strong relationships with students’ families and communities, supporting

and inspiring great teachers, and ensuring responsible operations of our schools.

Our goals are ambitious and our expectations are high, so we are seeking the very

best our education community can provide. Our students deserve nothing less.

As a vital part of this selection process, we are contracting with experienced third-

party evaluators to review all school operator applications we receive. We are

confident in the rigorous process by which evaluators will be selected and are certain

that we have created a thorough and transparent application and review process.

We look forward to receiving your application and learning about your strategies and

accomplishments in this important work. Please contact me with any questions you

may have at eric.hall@dpi.nc.gov or by calling 919-807-3435.

Sincerely,

Eric Hall, Ed.D.

Superintendent

North Carolina Innovative School District

ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF THE SPECIFIC INNOVATIVE SCHOOL

Innovative Schools have been identified by the state as low-performing schools and have been

approved by the State Board of Education to be operated under the ISD by a qualified education

service provider (charter/educational management organization). These partners will work

under contract for five years, with performance expectations that must be met annually. At the

end of the contract, the school shall be transitioned back to the control and management of the

local school district, unless other options are agreed upon by the local school board, the ISD

Superintendent and approved by the State Board of Education.

Each school is unique. Qualified education service providers should have a clear understanding

of the unique needs of the school or schools they wish to serve. In addition, providers must

clearly demonstrate an understanding of the school’s comprehensive needs assessment.

1. For the school the organization is interested in serving, describe your interest in the specific

community/communities.

2. Review the comprehensive needs assessment (to be provided by the ISD) for the school you

are interested in serving. For the school, explain how your model, and the commitment to

serve this population, including the grade levels, would meet the student and community

needs and align with the mission of the ISD.

3. Based on the comprehensive needs assessment(s), describe specific ways that you will

engage and transform the existing school culture as you prepare to open and during the first

year of operation. How will you determine what you will keep, modify, or add? Describe

13

STRATEGIC EDUCATION PLAN

MISSION & VISION

The mission statement defines the organization’s purpose and primary objectives, describing

why it exists. The mission statement provides the foundation for the entire proposal. Peter

Drucker said, “The mission says why you do what you do, not the means by which you do it.”

The mission…

● is the guiding light for everyone within the organization

● should resonate with everyone whether they just joined an organization, or have been

there since the beginning

● should be easily communicated to ensure execution within the organization

1. State the mission of the proposed ISD school in thirty-five words or less.

2. Clearly describe the mission of the proposed school and how that mission will inform your

school’s daily activities and students’ classroom experience.

GOALS

The application should demonstrate clear and specific goals for the first 5 years of operation

outlining expectations for the proposed school’s academics, school climate, and operations.

Applicants should clearly outline the process in which the organization will measure the

successes and failures of the Innovative School.

In writing the school goals, use the SMART system. This acronym is often used in project

management settings to help an individual identify goals and the necessary steps needed to

accomplish a given task.

S.M.A.R.T. stands for:

● Specific: A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a

general goal.

● Measurable: A clear criteria for measuring progress toward attainment of each goal set

should be established.

● Attainable: Goals that are important to the organization are easy to figure out how to

make them come true.

● Realistic: Realistic goals represent an objective toward which the organization is both

willing and able to work.

● Time Bound: A goal should be time bound. Deadlines too far in the future are easy to

put off, goals set too close tend to be unrealistic and have little success.

14

1. Provide specific and measurable goals for the proposed school for the 5 years of operation

outlining expectations for the proposed school's academics, school climate, and operations.

Address how often, who, and when the information will be communicated to the ISD

Superintendent and other stakeholders.

indicates that the organization is knowledgeable and competent to develop an educational

plan that will succeed in not only producing excellent instructional practice but continual

growth in student achievement. The education plans you develop should align with the

mission of the innovative school and the philosophy regarding instructional practices under

which you will operate. The plan should include information on what curriculum and/or staff

training you will use to accomplish this goal.

1. Provide a detailed description of the overall education plan of the proposed innovative

school, including major instructional methods, assessment strategies, and explain how this
