Any waiver request to be submitted to the SBE shall first be approved by the Board of Trustees. The Superintendent or designee shall ensure that each proposed waiver request includes all information necessary for the Board to analyze the need for the waiver and make an informed decision.
Prior to presenting the proposed request for Board approval, the Superintendent or designee shall consult with and obtain the approval of any advisory committee or site council when required by law.
(cf. 0420 - School Plans/Site Councils)
(cf. 1220 - Citizen Advisory Committees)
In addition, the Superintendent or designee shall involve the exclusive representative of district employees in the development of the waiver request, and shall include in the request the exclusive representative's position regarding the waiver. (Education Code 33050)
(cf. 4140/4240/4340 - Bargaining Units)
To receive public testimony on each waiver request proposal, the Board shall hold a properly noticed public hearing during a Board meeting. (Education Code 33050)
The notice, which shall state the time, date, location, and subject of the public hearing, may be printed in a newspaper of general circulation or posted at each school and three public places in the district.
(cf. 9320 - Meetings and Notices)
When the district has requested and received the same general waiver from the SBE for two consecutive years, the Board is not required to reapply annually if the information contained on the request remains current. However, the district shall apply annually for the renewal of any waiver regarding teacher credentialing. (Education Code 33051)
