SDZ 3 Applications

System Design Zone (SDZ) 3 applications will soon be available for additional districts to engage in the State Demonstration Project Waiver. The commitments and expectations for engaging are found on the SRSN website. 

View Commitments & Expectations

It is important to note the first year in the SDZ is designed as an orientation for districts to understand the various components of the waiver and to prepare for engaging in the various elements of the State Demonstration Project. 

Once the State Board of Education approves the SDZ Waiver Request, (usually the following summer) districts engage in the newly SDZ designed Alternative Annual Performance Report and reimagined assessment design. 

CNZ and ILDZ Applications

Districts and organizations ready to join the Success-Ready Students Network Monthly Learning Session are invited to apply between May 15-September 1 (first round of applications).

  • Organizations may join as Collaborative Network Zone (CNZ) participants.

  • Districts interested in beginning to engage with the tenets of personalized, competency-based learning and to learn about the work of the Demonstration Project are encouraged to apply as Innovative Learning Design Zone Districts (ILDZ).

All applications open May 15, 2024, and are accessible from the Innovation Zones web page of the SRSN website.
