To strip out a provision that allows a school discrict to seek a waiver from the rquirements under the "ed-flex" process that would be established by House Bills 4079 and 4080 (which are tie-barred to this bill), and instead allow the disctrict to propose a phase-in plan to the Department of Education. Note: Gov. Granholm vetoed versions of the "ed-flex" bills in the previous legislature. Tie-barring them means this bill can't become law unless those bills become law.
