The board approved an agreement with the state Board of Education to operate the district as a Strategic Waiver School. A Strategic Waiver School allows smaller school districts to exempt themselves from some state standards such as class size and salary scale requirements.. There are specific requirements in the contract to be a Strategic Waiver School and penalties for non-compliance.
