Non-Automatic Waivers: Statute Description and Rationale and Replacement Plan Statutory Citation and Title: C.R.S. 22-32-109(1)(n)(II)(A) Determine teacher-pupil contact hours Rationale: Highline Academy should have the ability to determine teacher-pupil contact hours, while not reducing the total contact hours to below the minimum (1056) required by state statute. Highline Academy will determine the actual details of teacher-pupil contact hours to best meet the needs of its students. The local board will not set these policies, and Highline Academy may specify teacher-pupil contact hours that differ from other schools in the district. Replacement Plan: Highline Academy will determine teacher-pupil contact hours in accordance with its final daily schedule and calendar. The total number of teacher-pupil contact hours will meet or exceed the expectations in state statute.
Expected Outcome. If granted, the waiver will enable the school to implement its program and evaluate its teachers in accordance with its Performance Appraisal System, which is designed to produce greater accountability and be consistent with the school’s goals and objectives. Tailoring the school’s evaluation system to its own needs will provide significantly greater effectiveness in its evaluations. This will benefit staff members as well as students and the community.

Expected Outcome. As a result of this waiver, the school will be able to carry out its educational program, administer its affairs in an efficient manner, and accomplish its mission as set forth in the Charter School Agreement.
Expected Outcome. A plan for the dissemination and exploitation of results will be updated regularly and completed at the end of the project. As additional action for dissemination, there will be a report on completed and planned communication actions. Both plan and report will be inserted in periodic and final reports. Dissemination on access opportunities are supported by infrastructures through special web pages and advertisements during conferences. FISCO2 will supervise these dissemination actions. To disseminate and promote the knowledge derived from the various activities of ENSAR2 within and beyond the consortium, a special website, where all the scientific periodic reports will be published, will be established and updated. This website will also be used for the internal communication. Two workshops, one 30 month after the start of the contract and one at its end, will be organised for the community at large in the format of "Town Meetings". In order to optimise the meeting budget and ensure a large attendance to scientific events, FISCO2 will encourage the ENSAR2 work package teams to organise their own meetings and workshops jointly with the Town Meetings. On the basis of a consortium agreement between all participants, questions arising from the assignment of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) will be settled. The activity reports planned as milestones include the minutes of PCC (Project Coordination Committee), FCG (Facility Coordination Group) and GA (General Assembly) meetings and the update of the plan for dissemination of results.

Non-Automatic Waivers: Statute Description and Rationale and Replacement Plan Statutory Citation and Title:C.R.S. § 00-00-000 Employment. Certificate required Rationale: AUL Denver should be granted the authority to hire teachers and principals that will support the school’s goals and objectives. The school leader will not function as a traditional district school principal, but rather will be responsible for a wider range of tasks and act as the school’s chief executive officer. The school will seek to attract school leaders and teachers from a wide variety of backgrounds, including, but not limited to teachers from out-of-state, teachers with a lapsed Colorado certificate, persons with several years of successful teaching experience in a setting not requiring a license, as well as persons with business or professional experience. Replacement Plan: All employees of AUL Denver will be employed on an at-will basis. The school will, as appropriate, hire certified teachers and principals. However, in some instances it may be advantageous for the school to be able to hire qualified teachers and/or administrators without a certificate and who possess unique background and/or skills that fill the need of AUL Denver. AUL Denver will prioritize the hiring of in-field Core Content teachers as defined by the Colorado State Board and the Colorado state ESSA Plan, while retaining the ability to hire “out-of-field” teachers. All in-field teachers will at a minimum hold a bachelor’s degree and demonstrate subject matter competency by meeting one of the following guidelines, specifically (1) endorsement on a Colorado teaching license; (2) holding at least a BA or higher in the relevant subject area; (3) completing 36 semester credit hours in the subject matter in which s/he teaches; or (4) holding at least a BA or higher and passing a State Boardapproved content exam in the relevant subject area. Special Education Teachers will hold the requisite state license and endorsement. The school recognizes that it is required to report data to meet federalrequirements, including, but not limited to, in-field/out-of-field teachers and years of experience.

Non-Automatic Waivers: Statute Description and Rationale and Replacement Plan Statutory Citation and Title:C.R.S. § 00-00-000 Teacher employment, contracts in writing-duration-damage provisionC.R.S. § 00-00-000 Probationary Teachers -renewal and non-renewal of employment contractC.R.S. § 00-00-000 Teacher Employment, Compensation and Dismissal Act – Transfer of Teachers Rationale: AUL Denver should be granted the authority to develop its own employment agreements and terms and conditions of employment. The school will be operating differently from other schools with a unique curriculum for which having the proper teaching staff is essential. Not every teacher who is successful at a traditional public school will be successful at AUL Denver. In addition, AUL Denver is granted the authority under the Charter School Agreement to select its own teachers. No other schools or the Denver Public Schools should have the authority to transfer its teachers into the school or transfer teachers from AUL Denver to any other schools, except as provided for in the Charter School Agreement.
Expected Outcome. All students will have access to a safe and enriching out-of-school program which will assist them to be successful in school and productive members of the community. The BASPs will align their program goals to be similar or compatible with goals and objectives of the District.
