HB 2816 Remediation of elementary and secondary school students.
Introduced by: Mitchell Van Yahres | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Multiple criteria for remediation of elementary and secondary school students. Requires the Board of Education to establish guidelines to assist local school boards in identifying students for remediation and special programs of prevention and intervention. The guidelines must include multiple criteria for determining whether such students will be required to attend remediation programs or special programs of prevention and intervention. The multiple criteria must include, but not be limited to, teacher observations and evaluations; class work and grades during the school year; scores on the Standards of Learning assessments and Virginia State Assessment Program Tests; the student's reading proficiency; the effects of social, economic, cultural, or familial conditions on the student's learning; whether the student is working on grade level or has been retained in a grade due to poor academic achievement; whether the student has experienced disciplinary problems; whether the student has attended remediation or special programs of prevention and intervention; and whether the student's academic achievement can be improved with consistent tutoring, more time on tasks, or supervised assistance to complete class assignments. School divisions are prohibited from recommending or placing students in remediation programs and special programs of prevention and intervention solely on the basis of scores on the Standards of Learning assessments and Virginia State Assessment Program Tests.
