Our Impact
Since 2022, TIP has quadrupled the number of initiatives supported, creating nearly 200 new school based positions through those initiatives and directly serving more than 70,000 students to give them equitable access to great teaching and pathways to post-secondary success.
Our compelling focus has enabled us to secure over $25 million in multi-year funding. Through our collective work we continue to serve more than 40% of the traditional public school students in the state.

Launched in the TIP incubator with an $8M start-up grant and created an award winning model to accelerate student access to hi-tech career pathways across 17 member districts that is now being implemented statewide.
In my time as superintendent of the last five years, I’ve seen The Innovation Project evolve in much deeper, more meaningful ways. So there’s still the connection and the relationships there, looking at research and the national, global perspectives—but also doors have been opened to grants, to funds, to resources, that support individual students in our district, and for initiatives that we know are helping to move the needle.

I think about our partnership with TIP as a way to ignite change in our schools, and we’re doing that because we’re thinking differently about how a school looks and what kids do when they spend most of their day with us. I’m really excited that as an organization, TIP is pushing the boundaries of what public schools can look like.
