Midland ISD has begun its transition from a Managed Instruction Theory of Action to an Earned Autonomy Theory of Action with the ultimate goal of having implemented a System of Great Schools Theory of Action by 2027. The System of Great Schools strategy involves putting autonomous schools at the center of our change efforts and focusing on the needs of schools to meet the individual needs of students. A System of Great Schools works at the community, district and school level to reorient our efforts with schools at the center, not the district or system. When schools don’t meet that bar, the district will work with the community to identify innovative opportunities to ensure students are well served.

The System of Great Schools (SGS) strategy involves putting autonomous schools at the center of our change efforts and focusing on the needs of schools to meet the individual needs of students. SGS works at the community, district, and school levels to reorient our efforts with schools at the center, not the district or system. When schools don’t meet the high bar we are establishing, we will work with the community to identify innovative opportunities to ensure students are well-served. Each school will receive the support and resources it needs to provide a high‐quality education to our students.
