state laws and rules shall submit to the superintendent of public 8
instruction and the state board of education a list of laws and rules 9
waived by the school district board of directors in accordance with 10
this section. 11
(8) School districts are authorized to use any savings resulting 12
from not having to implement a state law or rule waived by the school 13
district board of directors. However, each school district must award 14
a portion of the savings to the first school that requested the 15
waiver that resulted in a savings and to the first teacher at a 16
school who brought the idea to the principal to request the waiver. 17
