- Summary:
-
The 1994 Florida Legislature has continued the shift to local decision making and flexibility by repealing many education statutes and extending the system of statutory waivers and abeyances until July 1, 1995. Many schools and school districts have applied and been approved for waivers over the last 2 years and others have implemented innovative programs utilizing other local flexibility options. This document presents information about flexibility options to Florida school districts seeking innovative ways to improve student outcomes. Four sections describe flexibility options in the following areas: instruction and curriculum; school operations; personnel, certification, and training; and program funding and student transportation. Each section is divided into three subsections. The first subsection consists of descriptions, questions and answers, and contacts and resources concerning local flexibility. The second subsection details statutes placed in abeyance by the legislature, and the third subsection contains descriptions, examples, and questions and answers about statutes eligible for waivers. A chart illustrates the waiver request process. Appendices provide information on the status of various education statutes, a waiver request form, lists of waiver requests granted during 1993-94 and 1994-95, the relationship of Florida's "Blueprint 2000" with the national Goals 2000 legislation, and a list of school-improvement regional team leaders.
