This amendment waives certain staffing standards for several categories of instructional positions the first year only, and requires school divisions to report the extent which these flexibility provisions were utilized to waive staffing standards. This amendment partially restores waivers that had been included in the Appropriation Act since 2010 that were eliminated in the introduced budget. The previous language also waived staffing standards for English as a Second Language and school counselor positions; however they are no longer included, as 2020 legislation increases the staffing standards for those positions.
