HB 756 Remediation for certain students.

Introduced by: Kristen J. Amundson | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Remediation for certain students. Requires school boards to provide programs of prevention, intervention, and remediation for students failing an end-of-course test required for the award of a verified unit of credit needed by the student for graduation and requires these students to participate in such prevention, intervention, and remediation. School divisions are to add these students to their existing remediation report requirements. Corresponding amendments address the authority of superintendents to enforce compulsory attendance requirements for these students. Currently, required remediation targets students who are "educationally at risk including, but not limited to, those whose scores are in the bottom national quartile on Virginia State Assessment Program Tests and those who fail to achieve a passing score on any Standards of Learning assessment in grades three, five, and eight."
