      <image:title>Story - Empower Schools Awarded $750,000 Grant from Greater Texas Foundation - Empower Schools is proud to announce a $750,000 grant from Greater Texas Foundation to support the expansion of Rural Pathway Excellence Partnerships (R-PEP) to three additional regions: Region 14, Region 1, and Region 16, and support broader efforts to spread the rural collaborative model.</image:title>
      <image:caption>While rural learners in Texas graduate from high school at higher rates than their urban peers, they remain less likely to enroll in postsecondary education. Awarded in the spring of 2025, this investment has already started to address that gap by supporting the implementation of new R-PEPs that will serve approximately 15 rural school districts, creating stronger college and career pathways for students in historically underserved communities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Resource - The Third Way: A Guide to Implementing Innovation Schools - Across the country, urban school districts are moving beyond industrial-era systems by creating “innovation” or “partnership” schools that have the freedom to reinvent the way they educate students. The Progressive Policy Institute released a how-to guide for legislators, district leaders, and advocates who want to create more of these 21st century schools: The Third Way: A Guide to Implementing Innovation Schools.</image:title>

      <image:title>Resource - Autonomous Schools: A New Path to Growing High-Quality, Innovative Public Schools - This report from Public Impact considers how U.S. school districts increasingly create autonomous district schools to give their schools the flexibility afforded to charter schools, in an effort to provide high-quality, innovative, and diverse public schools at scale. Like charter schools, autonomous district schools are exempt from some policies governing state-funded schools, and they have autonomy over some staffing, curriculum, budget, and operational decisions.</image:title>
      <image:caption>They may be operated or supported by external school management organizations, but they remain part of the school district, which holds them accountable for their performance through contracts or alternative governance structures. This report, developed with the support of the Walton Family Foundation, examines autonomous district school models, how they differ from traditional district and charter schools, and design and implementation elements that districts should consider when creating autonomous district schools.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Resource - Denver’s Luminary Learning Network - In early 2015, a group of principals from Denver Public Schools approached the Gates Family Foundation for technical and strategic guidance in their quest to gain more autonomy over decision-making, finances, and operation of their innovation schools. The Foundation had long been a supporter of independent charter schools as a strategy for improving student outcomes, but hadn’t invested significantly in district schools.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Recognizing the opportunity for the Foundation and others to learn from the process of exploring new models for governance and investment, Senior Vice President for Education Mary Seawell asked Colorado-based journalist Alan Gottlieb to cover, in real time, the unfolding events that are chronicled in this case study.</image:caption>
