    SUBJECT:
     
    District Annual Waiver Reports
     
    Pursuant to Section 229.592 (9)(a)(2), Florida Statutes, every school board is
    required to report annually to the Commissioner of Education the number of
    waivers requested by school advisory councils, the number of such waiver
    requests approved and submitted to the Commissioner for approval, and the
    number of state waiver requests not approved and not submitted to the
    Commissioner of Education. For each waiver request not approved, the school
    board is to report the statute or rule for which the waiver was requested, the
    rationale for the school advisory council request, and the reason the request
    was not approved.
     
    Please copy and complete the two forms attached with the information
    described above for all waiver requests from your district for last school year
    (2001-2002) and fax or mail both forms to:
     
    Bureau of School Improvement and Educational Flexibility
    Department of Education
    325 W. Gaines Street, Room 424
    Tallahassee, FL 32399-0400
     
    Due to changes in the school code, information on the new waiver policies will
    be sent to districts soon.
