The BHSC Ed-Flex Waiver #2 application and Google Form for public comment are up, and we'd love your feedback on our intentions to use additional flexibility in hiring, training, and retaining paraprofessionals to support our most at-risk students.

According to 20 U.S.C. § 5891b(a)(7), any LEA seeking an Ed-Flex waiver, including school-specific waivers, shall:

● Provide the public with adequate and efficient notice of the proposed waiver, which consists of a description of the LEA/school application for the proposed waiver in a widely-accessible or distributed medium. This should also include a description of the anticipated improvements to student performance due to the Ed-Flex waiver.

● Provide the opportunity for parents, educators, and all other interested community stakeholders to comment on the waiver.

● Specify how the comments may be received and how they may be reviewed by any member of the public.

● Submit the comments received with the application to IDOE.
