Don't be that district! Wouldn't hurt do a end to end policies review and categorize them as relevant, irrelevant, requires modification. Create a blanket waiver for all of the irrelevant ones and a blanked set of temporary policies that override the current ones until revoked.

Have a small 3-5 person policy review work group to do this work and to draft the blanked waivers and temporary policies for approval.
If this is not addressed, the amount of time, resources and emotional energy wasted is enormous --this is how unnecessary organizational chaos happens--even if it is low humming, it is still there.
This is ONE thing that districts CAN fully control versus the many things it doesn't during this pandemic crisis.
Of course, there are some issues that may require State level waivers. At least you will know what to ask for if important enough.
If for some reason, a working group is not possible, at least find a way to give certain leaders authority to grant policy waivers as long as it's not in violation of laws.
Basically - Don't underutilize waiver process :)
