AURORA — Aurora’s Board of Education will allow William Smith High School to cut the strings that bind it to the school bureaucracy.
The school board Tuesday approved William Smith’s shift to an autonomous pilot school, which will be governed by a leadership committee of parents, teachers, students and community members.
After the committee takes control in July, students will have a different curriculum and calendar than those at other district schools.
In exchange for autonomy, the school will be expected to raise student test scores and make other improvements.
