State law (O.C.G.A. \u00a720-2-84) required all school districts to select one of three district flexibility options (Strategic Waiver School System, Charter System, or Title 20\/No Waivers School System) by which they would operate and inform the State Board of Education no later than June 30, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>On April 13, 2015, the Hall County Board of Education voted to submit the district\u2019s letter of intent to the state, indicating the district had selected the Strategic Waiver School System as its district flexibility option. After submitting the letter of intent, the district then developed its Strategic Waiver School System contract. The contract was approved by the Hall County Board of Education on February 22, 2016, and by the State Board of Education on March 31, 2016. The contract went into effect on July 1, 2016.<\/p>\n<p>On May 16, 2024, the Hall County Board of Education voted to renew its Strategic Waiver School System Contract for the next term (2024-2030). The State Board of Education approved the contract on June 13, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The Strategic Waiver School System contract offers the district the opportunity to waive certain state education laws and regulations, providing the district greater flexibility with which to serve students to increase student achievement. The state extends this flexibility to the district in exchange for greater accountability for improved student performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-dmdbv6-d2740af062fe82d83b9d355c605b29bc\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-dmdbv6-d2740af062fe82d83b9d355c605b29bc{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-dmdbv6-d2740af062fe82d83b9d355c605b29bc hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-1bdbs2-3ce2a6bd5cb86e3ce4f46a843b76c83e '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hall-County-School-District-SWSS-Contract-Signed.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\" data-darkreader-inline-color=\"\">Hall County School District Strategic Waiver School System (SWSS) Contract<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/a><br \/>\nJuly 1, 2024 &#8211; June 30, 2030<br \/>\n<i>(Approved by the Georgia State Board of Education on June 13, 2024)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3746","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
