State Superintendent of Education Dr. Carey Wright said the designation exempts districts from certain state regulations to implement programs to improve student achievement. The following is from the Mississippi Department of Education. "Corinth School District will continue implementing its Cambridge International curriculum and extending the school year by scheduling its 180 instructional days across most of the year. The modified calendar provides opportunities in quarterly intersession periods for internships and remedial and accelerated learning. Corinth will also offer project-based learning in middle and high school, gifted education opportunities to all students in grades 2-8, and dual credit/dual enrollment options. To reward teachers, it will use local funds to provide performance-based pay supplements."
