(a) The state board shall establish stringent
criteria to be used to determine whether a high school that does not
meet the requirements under IC 20-24.2-2-2(b) may receive a waiver
to provide instructional days in the manner described in IC 20-24.2-4-2
and be exempt from any or all of the statutes and rules listed in IC 20-24.2-4-3. The state board's criteria to approve a high school's waiver

criteria must require the curriculum and instruction of a high school to
create academic performance at a high level through which students are
college or career ready and globally competitive upon graduation from
high school.
(b) The state board shall submit the criteria developed by the state
board to grant a waiver under subsection (a) to the general assembly in
