A list of the schools that qualify can be found here. The NCISD will now begin the task of selecting the first schools to participate, beginning in the 2018-19 school year.

Launched in 2017, NCISD is focused on improving student and school outcomes in low-performing schools by creating a collaborative and accountable partnership with school districts and local communities.
