In an effort to better provide high-quality instruction and academic opportunities for all 果冻传媒app-area students, 果冻传媒app Independent School District and charter schools have come together to form the 果冻传媒app District-Charter Collaboration Compact. The 果冻传媒app Compact is comprised of the following area public school leaders: 果冻传媒app Independent School District, Eden Park Academy, Harmony Public Schools, IDEA Public Schools, KIPP 果冻传媒app Public Schools, NYOS Charter School, Responsive Education Solutions, and UT Elementary School. Additionally, education nonprofits Educate Texas and the Texas Charter Schools Association are members.
