On May 20, 2013 the West Virginia Department of Education's ESEA flexibility request was approved. An SEA seeking renewal of ESEA flexibility must submit an updated ESEA flexibility request describing how it will continue to meet the ESEA flexibility principles, so that the Secretary can determine, consistent with ESEA section 9401(d), that the waivers have been effective in enabling the SEA to carry out the activities for which the waivers were requested, have contributed to improved student achievement, and their extension is in the public interest. As part of the SEA's updated ESEA flexibility request, the SEA must include in redline any changes made to its currently approved flexibility request and all narrative responses to items described in Sections I - II of ESEA Flexibility Guidance for Renewal Process.
An updated version of the SEA's ESEA flexibility renewal has been posted online for public comment. The document contains specific formatting as described below:
An online feedback form has been developed that contains a text box corresponding to three of the ESEA core principles. The public is invited to provide comment and feedback to the proposed renewal through noon on Monday, March 30.
