EDFLEX WAIVER Request for Feedback
The purpose of the Ed-Flex (Education Flexibility) Waiver in
Florida is to let the Florida Department of Education (FDOE)
grant local school districts freedom from select federal
rules. This allows districts to redirect money and resources
toward local goals without waiting for individual approval
from the U.S. Department of Education. Hernando County's
Federal Programs Department will be submitting an
application.
