Senate Bill 1882 allows for the A&M San Antonio Institute for School and Community Partnerships (ISCP) to operate in-district school charters throughout the region to create an equitable pathway from public school to high education. Today, the ISCP operates three in-district school charters with Edgewood Independent School District: Winston Intermediate School of Excellence, Gus Garcia University School, and The Burleson School for Innovation and Education. The teacher residencies model is also our jam and the ISCP manages two Teacher Residencies programs with the CAST Schools Network in Bexar County.
