(2) The state board may grant the waiver, unless: (a) the waiver would cause the school district or the school to be in violation of state or federal law; or (b) the waiver would threaten the health, safety, or welfare of students in the district or at the school. (3) If the state board denies the waiver, the reason for the denial shall be provided in writing to the waiver applicant.
