Resources: What special resources will be required to implement this experiment or exception, and how has the school budgeted to provide those resources? Assessment plan: What is the school’s plan for assessing the results of this experiment or exception in a systematic and sustainable manner over time, and how will those assessment results be used to improve this exception or experiment (including any decision to discontinue it)? If this petition involves the use of distance education, address here the following issues: (a) the specific technology platform(s) to be used (e.g., Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, Adobe Connect, BlueJeans, WebEx, etc.); (b) your reason for and experience in using that (those) platform(s); (c) whether your distance education will be offered synchronously or asynchronously or both, including a rationale for doing so; and (d) a plan for assessing the effectiveness of your technology platform(s), including issues of staffing, training, cost, ease of use, and keeping your platform(s) reasonably current. Approval of any petition for change is effective with the date specified in the official action. Such approval expects the change will be implemented within a year of that approval date. If the change cannot be implemented within that time frame, the school must submit a satisfactory explanation for the delay and a modified time line for implementation. Absent implementation of the change or granting a request for additional time, the approval will expire one year after the initial grant date. In such cases, the school would need to submit a new petition seeking permission to implement the change after that one-year period. In addition, any contingency attached to an approved petition must be satisfied before the change can be implemented, typically within a year, unless the school provides a satisfactory explanation for the delay and additional time is granted.
