Chapter 3. Performance Qualified High School Waivers
IC 20-24.2-3-1
Waivers for certain high schools; state board criteria
Sec. 1. (a) The state board shall establish stringent criteria to be
used to determine whether a high school that does not meet the
requirements under IC 20-24.2-2-2(b) may receive a waiver to
provide instructional days in the manner described in IC 20-24.2-4-2
and be exempt from any or all of the statutes and rules listed in
IC 20-24.2-4-3. The state board's criteria to approve a high school's
waiver request must be based on a method or methods of measuring
academic standards of the high school, as approved by the state
board. The criteria must require the curriculum and instruction of a
high school to create academic performance at a high level through
which students are college or career ready and globally competitive
upon graduation from high school.
(b) The state board shall submit the criteria developed by the state
board to grant a waiver under subsection (a) to the general assembly
in an electronic format under IC 5-14-6.
