HJ 529 Study; remedial summer school program.

Introduced by: Julia A. Connally | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Study; remedial summer school program. Establishes a joint subcommittee to study the remedial summer school program. This resolution notes the increase in at-risk students, including English as a second language students, and observes that the Commonwealth's best course of action would be to provide preventive educational services to at-risk children in order to avoid academic failure, dropping out, and the enhanced potential for criminal involvement. The joint subcommittee is directed to determine, in its deliberations, (i) those school divisions which conduct remedial summer school programs; (ii) the numbers and characteristics of the students served; (iii) any fees that may be charged to students who are not required to attend summer school and those classes for which such fees are charged; (iv) if possible, the outcomes of attendance at remedial summer school in terms of academic success during the following year or standardized test scores; and (v) the numbers of children who go unserved because of school division financial constraints. Other states' remedial summer school programs will also be examined.
