SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

The bill permits the Board of Education to grant and renew such releases for a period of up to five years. The bill also permits the Board of Education to grant local school boards waivers of specific staffing requirements that would permit the school board to assign instructional personnel to the schools with the greatest needs, provided that the local school board demonstrates that the waiver will increase the quality of instruction and improve the achievement of students in the affected school or schools.
