Saint Jo ISD begins ‘District of Innovation’ process
Saint Jo Independent School Board trustees began looking at procedures to become a School of Innovation for the upcoming school year during their Nov. 14 board meeting.
Superintendent Curtis Eldridge explained having a designation as a district of innovation will allow the district to have more flexibility in its scheduling and with its career and technical classes.
“It’s a long process, but we have initiated it,” said Eldridge. “There are only two schools in the area, Slidell and Era, who have this designation and only 35 in the state.”
