HRS §302A-1126
When a school council can ask to skip rules
A state agency must waive its rules for a school if the school community council asks, unless the agency can justify a denial within 30 days. The board sets up the waiver process and can extend waivers to similar schools. This applies to union contracts as their agreements allow.

The statute, as written — Waiver of policy, rule, or procedures

The board shall adopt procedures necessary to process waivers initiated by a school community council. Any general waiver of policy, rule, or procedures granted by the board to a specific school or schools may be extended by the board to apply to other schools under comparable circumstances. This section shall apply to collective bargaining agreements as provided for in all relevant collective bargaining agreements negotiated pursuant to chapter 89.
