Municipal Boards of Education
The Municipal Boards of Education are municipal-level advisory bodies of the Government, which have the function of planning, designing, evaluating and monitoring educational policies in the corresponding municipality. These Boards work in coordination with the National Board of Education and the Departmental and District Boards of Education, to be consultants of the Ministry of National Education and achieve a development of educational policies that integrate all territorial levels of the country. These Boards were created in 1994 when the General Education Law was issued and are composed of the corresponding Mayor, the Secretaries and Directors of the Government that influence the educational policies, a representative of the Municipal Council or the local administrative boards, representatives of the Educators and teachers, a representative of parents and representatives of ethnic communities at the municipal level in which they operate.

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
