Education Minister Nick McKim said the Empowering Local Schools initiative was designed to give schools more say in how schools are run.
Mr McKim said 23 Tasmanian schools would receive a one-off start-up grant of between $40,000 to $50,000 as part of the initiative.
''The schools selected will implement measures to increase the capacity of principals, parents and school communities to be involved in making decisions about their schools,'' Mr McKim.
He said $77,000 would also go to training and professional development for principals and school communities through the Department of Education's Professional Learning Institute.
The schools taking part are:
Burnie High, Cygnet Primary, East Tamar Federation ( Brooks High Rocherlea Primary, Mayfield Primary, Mowbray Heights Primary, Invermay Primary), Dodges Ferry Primary, Howrah Primary, Lenah Valley Primary, Moonah Primary, Mountain Heights, Norwood Primary, Riverside Primary, Riverside High, Snug Primary, Taroona High, Waimea Heights Primary, Sandy Bay Infant, Waverley Primary, Ravenswood Heights Primary, West Launceston Primary, Windermere Primary.
