The Board may grant an exception from any of the guidelines in this Chapter. To obtain an exception, the governing board of the school district shall submit a written request to the Board. The Board shall grant an exception if it determines the intent of the guideline is capable of being met by the school district in an alternative manner. If the Board grants the exception, the Board shall deem the school district meets the guideline and is not eligible for state funding to meet the guideline.
