Introduced by: Mary Margaret Whipple | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Remediation programs. Amends the standards for remediation programs to require that data submitted to the Board of Education include the number of students failing any Standards of Learning assessments for grades three through eight. This bill also provides that students who fail the Standards of Learning assessments in grades three through eight, in addition to other factors that the division superintendent may use to determine the student's need for remediation, must attend summer school or after-school remediation programs. There are several technical amendments.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Standards for remediation programs; students required to attend summer school.  Aligns language regarding the Standards of Learning assessments with amendments made to the Standards of Quality during the 2004 Session. The bill reflects the Commonwealth's decision to shift from testing in grades three, five, and eight to testing annually in grades three through eight.
