Proposed Board File Policy LBD-R-3 and its Exhibit outline the types of waivers made available to DCSD Charter Schools and the procedures for requesting them.

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board consider and approve Board File Policy LBD-R-3 entitled “Charter School Waivers of District Policy” and its Exhibit LBD-R-3-E entitled “Designation of District Policies for Charter School Waiver Requests” after two readings by the District’s Board.
