(1) describe the innovative educational program and how it will improve student achievement;
(2) specify the regulation to be waived;
(3) provide criteria to measure the improvement in student achievement; and
(4) specify the period of time for which the waiver is requested.
(c) In determining whether to grant the waiver, the board will consider the materials submitted, recommendations of the department, and written and verbal public comment.
(d) Except as provided in (e) of this section, if the board finds by a preponderance of evidence that the innovative educational program will improve student achievement, the board may waive the regulation for a period specified by the board.
