AI Summary
- Expands the list of provisions that the State Board of Education cannot waive for local school systems seeking flexibility contracts, adding protections for health/physical education requirements, expenditure controls, class size requirements, teacher certification, salary schedules, duty-free lunch, and teacher termination/disciplinary procedures
- Removes the requirement that local school systems requesting flexibility must select at least one waiver or variance from a prescribed list of options under Code Section 20-2-84(b), which is repealed and reserved
- Requires local charter schools and each individual school within charter school systems to comply with the same expanded set of non-waivable provisions, including class size, certification, salary schedule, duty-free lunch, expenditure controls, and personnel termination protections
- Applies these conditions at the individual school level for charter systems, meaning each school within a charter system must independently meet the requirements rather than only the system as a whole
