Rationale Office of Transformation and Innovation ● There is an opportunity gap; no Dallas ISD middle school has been approved through the Public School Choice process. Also, 8-10% of all 5th graders do not enroll in their neighborhood middle school. ● Strategically align middle school instructional models and pathways with high school pathways and programs. ● Create additional “best-fit”competitive middle school models for parents and students. 5
