| GA | Adopted 11/2009 | P-12 | Renames rule (previously titled "School District Contracts for Flexibility and Accountability to Improve Student Achievement") to "Investing in Educational Excellence (IE2): Local Education Agency Contracts for Flexibility and Accountability". Amends rule, which allows local education agencies (LEAs) to request increased flexibility from certain state laws in exchange for increased accountability and defined consequences. Repeals provision that allowed contracts to be renewed beyond the initial five-year term (for up to five additional years) if a district's performance met the contract goals. Adds section on public input and transparency. New section requires local boards, prior to approving local plans for submission to the state board, to notify the public regarding the LEA's intent to seek such a contract with the state, and to hold a public hearing providing an opportunity for public input on the strategic plan and proposed contract, including on the LEA' s flexibility requests and performance goals, and their impact on each school. Also requires that a public hearing be held if the LEA chooses to amend the terms of an existing contract or seek additional flexibility. Clarifies that the Governor's Office of Student Achievement's (GOSA) monitoring of districts regarding progress toward intermediate and five-year goals must be on an annual basis. Directs the GOSA to present annual written progress reports to the state board of education for each Investing in Educational Excellence contract. http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/_documents/doe/legalservices/160-5-1-.33.pdf

| IL | Adopted 11/2009 | P-12 | Partially from "Notice of Adopted Amendments" in Illinois Register (changes from this rulemaking but not listed below are technical in nature or echo recent changes in legislation):
Section 1.20: Revised to distinguish among the appropriate levels of sign-off on the corrective plan a district must submit depending on whether a school or the district has been placed on probation. Adds a provision allowing a district's or school's status to be changed to "nonrecognized" if, at any time that a corrective action plan is in effect, the state superintendent determines that the agreed-upon actions are not being implemented in accordance with the plan or the underlying areas of noncompliance are not being remedied.
Section 1.30: Updated to refer to state assessment accommodations now allowed for limited English proficient students, and now specifies when time extensions will be made available to those students (in response to P.A. 94-642, which authorized the state board to allow additional time "by rule"). Revises labels used to describe scores on the Illinois Alternate Assessment, and updates rule on review and verification of assessment information.
Section 1.100: Adds details so that staff of districts and other eligible applicants will have more specific guidance as to what is expected as part of the process for receiving waivers and modifications of requirements in the school code or administrative rules.
Section 1.240: Expanded to include a reference to gender identity among the prohibited bases for discrimination because it may otherwise not be clear that gender identity is encompassed in the definition of "sexual orientation".
Section 1.420: Adds provision specifying that each district's plan for recording student progress and/or awarding credit must include credit for courses completed by correspondence, online or from other external sources. Specifies that a district may count four clock-hours as a day of instruction only due to a condition beyond the district's control; specifies other requirements that must be met for the state superintendent to approve a district's request to use "multiple sessions" to fulfill school day requirements. Specifies that students in attendance for at least 150 but fewer than 240 minutes of school work may be counted for a half-day of attendance; students in attendance for fewer than 150 minutes of school work are not to be counted for purposes of calculating average daily attendance. Emphasizes the meaning of the portion of the rule on library media programs that distinguishes between the services that may be performed only by certified library information specialists and the other tasks that may be inherent in districts' operation of their programs.
Section 1.465 (on awarding of credit for foreign language study in an ethnic school program) and 1.480 (on correctional institution educational programs): Generally updated, including the insertion of current statutory citations.
Section 1.510: Main revision conveys state board's interpretation that districts may not pick and choose among students in the same situation once they elect to transport some students.
Section 1.737: Updated to complement new requirements for endorsements in safety and driver education that will take effect in 2012.

| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | Authorizes local boards to apply to the state superintendent for waivers from financial provisions established in Chapter 3306, including any applicable expenditure or reporting standard prescribed by rule adopted by statutory requirement, or or a waiver of any operating standard adopted under division (D)(3) of section 3301.07. Directs the state board to adopt standards for the approval or disapproval of such waivers. Requires the state superintendent to consider every waiver application, and to determine whether to grant or deny a waiver in accordance with the state board's standards. For each waiver granted, directs the state superintendent to specify the time period during which the waiver is in effect, up to five years. Allows a district to apply to renew a waiver.

| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | Existing law allows waivers from certain state mandates to school districts identified as "excellent" or "effective" under the state accountability system. New provision provides that such districts may not be released from any standard or requirement of Chapter 3306 (school finance), or from any operating standard adopted under division (D)(3) of section 3301.07.
Existing law allows schools to submit applications to the state board proposing an innovative education pilot program the implementation of which requires exemptions from specific statutory provisions or rules. New provision adds that an exemption from Chapter 3306 or from any operating standard adopted under division (D)(3) of section 3301.07 of the Revised Code may be granted only pursuant to a waiver granted by the superintendent of public instruction under section 3306.40.

| OH | Adopted 03/2009 | P-12 | Authorizes the governing board of any educational service center, or the administrative authority of any chartered nonpublic school to submit an application to the state board for an exemption from specific statutes and/or rules in order to implement a proposed innovative education pilot program (previous rule allowed only school districts to submit a waiver application).

Requires the department to approve or disapprove each application within 45 days of receipt.
Provides a district identified as deficient or implementing a corrective action plan is eligible for a waiver. Provides an application to continue a program permitted by an exemption is not complete until an annual evaluation report is completed and submitted to the department. http://www.registerofohio.state.oh.us/pdfs/3301/0/46/3301-46-01_PH_FF_A_RU_20090313_1156.pdf
