AN ACT relating to education.

Summary

The bill lets local boards of education ask the state board for waivers from certain statutes and administrative rules so they can try new approaches, especially in schools with unmet academic needs. Waivers cannot cover health and safety, civil rights, federal law, attendance, core teacher certification (except up to 25% of staff with a relevant degree or industry credential), state assessments, audits, open records, purchasing rules, or required instructional time. Approved waivers last up to three full school years unless the state board renews them.
