AN ACT relating to education.

This bill, called the School Innovation Act, lets local school boards apply to the Kentucky Board of Education for permission to waive certain state laws or regulations that govern how their schools operate. Schools granted this flexibility may be designated as "schools of innovation," with the state board holding authority to renew or rescind those waivers under set conditions. Who it may affect: local school boards, school administrators, teachers, and students in Kentucky public schools seeking greater flexibility in how they operate.
