Innovative Schools Family Survey

As part of our five-year strategic plan, Knox County Schools is exploring the possibility of expanding more innovative school options across the district. Innovative school models are approaches to education that differ from the traditional school setting. While the traditional school setting is the ideal learning environment for most students, we know that every student is unique.
