FAQs
Q: Why are school districts using this program to generate funds?
A: Schools are facing budget deficits that could result in a reduction in services and programs for children. So, they are
seeking to generate their own revenue to help solve their budget problems through this innovative program.
Q: Are there any restrictions on the types of ads that can run?
A: Yes. All advertisements must be presented in the form of an age-appropriate, positive message. Tobacco, alcohol, and
political campaign advertising are not permitted. The school districts retain final approval for all advertisements and artwork,
which are submitted by District Solutions upon each new sponsorship.
Q: What is the sign made of and does it harm the bus?
A: The signs are made from a premium polymeric vinyl coated with a special laminate that is weather- and fade-resistant and
engineered to last in the elements for at least five years. The signs are professionally installed by our trained vinyl applicators,
and removal of the signs will not harm the exterior of the bus in any way.
Q: Does the school spend any money on this program?
A: No. District Solutions provides a turn key program, handling all sales, art design, fee collection, sign installation and sign
removal. There is no cost to the district. The revenue is to be used at the school district's discretion.
Q: What does the School Bus Advertising program do?
A: It helps businesses build brand awareness, while providing much needed funding for local schools.
The ads are seen every day by thousands of people as the buses travel around town.

From: Misty Shelton

2nd Reading
Policy 1.400 - School Board Meetings
Public Chapter 852 creates flexibility for Boards during a natural disaster or inclement weather
event. It allows board members to join a meeting electronically when fewer than a quorum is
physically present. This exception may be used three times per year.
Policy 2.100 - Fiscal Management Goals
Recent guidance from the Comptroller's office recommends that Boards require annual internal
control reviews.
Policy 2.200 - Annual Operating Budget
The new guidance from the Comptroller's office also recommends that Boards include a provision on
the fund balance and encourages Boards to select this amount in consultation with their local
funding body. Additionally, new state laws require districts to annually provide: (1) a certified copy of
the budget signed by both the Director and the funding body to the Commissioner; and (2) planning
and budgetary reports to the Office of Research and Accountability in the Office of the Comptroller of
the Treasury.
NEW Policy 4.215 - Instructional Use of Digital Devices
TSBA created this new policy in response to a requirement in Public Chapter 808. This new state
law requires Boards to adopt a policy prioritizing teacher-led instruction and the use of non-electronic
instructional materials in grades K-5. There are several exceptions to the law, including, but not
limited to, assessments, remediation, students with IEPs/504 plans, and virtual schools.
Policy 4.301 - Interscholastic Athletics
Students attending small private schools will now be permitted to participate in interscholastic
athletics in accordance with TSSAA or TMSAA guidelines. If a school is a member with these
organizations, private school students zoned for the particular school shall be able to participate in
interscholastic athletics to the same extent as other students, but only in athletic programs that are
not offered by the private school. If a school is not a member with these organizations, private school
students zoned for the particular school shall be able to participate in interscholastic athletics to the
same extent as other students.
Policy 4.600 - Grading System
This new law clarifies that the high school grading system will apply to coursework completed by
students in middle school. TSBA has added clarifying information to this policy. Please note that
Public Chapter 901 also includes a requirement that will go into effect for the 2027-2028 school year.
Beginning in that school year, districts are required to automatically enroll students who achieve a

performance level of "exceeds expectations" on the math portion of the 7th-grade TCAP exam in
Algebra I instead of an 8th-grade math course, unless a parent/guardian opts them out.
Policy 4.603 - Promotion & Retention
TSBA has updated policy 4.603 to include another pathway for students to be promoted to fourth
grade. This is based on Public Chapter 1030, which permits this promotion if the student was
administered a state-mandated assessment in third grade and demonstrated proficiency in ELA
based on scoring in the fiftieth percentile on the most recently administered universal reading
screener. This will apply to the schools selected for a pilot with the TDOE.
Policy 4.605 - Graduation Requirements
Recent changes to state law alter the Move on When Ready early graduation requirements. Public
Chapter 912 adds the Classic Learning Test as an option for students seeking to graduate early
through this pathway. Additionally, Public Chapter 1040 requires the Director of Schools to annually
report the total number of Move on When Ready requests to the Department of Education. TSBA
has also updated this policy to clarify that students who successfully complete high school credit
before grade nine shall receive graduation credit for that coursework.
Policy 5.106 = Application and Employment
State law now requires all school districts to use the E-Verify program to ensure that an employee is
eligible to work in the U.S. Previously, this was an optional program. This is already a practice within
our system.
Policy 5.200 - Separation Practices for Tenured Teachers &
Policy 5.201 Separation Practices for Non-Tenured Teachers
Previously, a teacher who resigned and breached their contract mid-year could have their license
suspended by the State Board of Education if the local Board submitted a complaint. Public Chapter
898 removes the option for Boards to file these types of complaints.
Policy 5.302 - Sick Leave &
Policy 5.303 Personal and Professional Leave
Public Chapter 1022 is intended to shift flexibility from sick leave to the personal and professional
leave category. Professional employees will now earn: 8 sick days a year for 10-month contracts; 9
sick days a year for 11-month contracts; and 10 sick days a year for 12-month contracts.
Additionally, professional employees will now earn four days of personal and professional leave per
year instead of two.
Policy 5.600 - Staff Rights & Responsibilities
An update to the Teacher Code of Conduct requires teachers to refrain from any sexually related
behaviors with students, including students who have graduated or withdrawn in the immediately
preceding twelve months.
Policy 5.801 - Director of Schools Recruitment and Selection
State law now permits Boards to conduct an executive session to interview candidates applying to
serve as Director of Schools. The new change to state law allows boards to conduct interviews
behind closed doors. This was previously not an option under state law. If Boards want to use this
option, TSBA recommends updating the corresponding policy. Please note that voting and
deliberation must be done in an open meeting, and the new law requires minutes of the executive
session to be published. Additionally, candidates now have the option to request that their
applications remain confidential if the Board chooses to use an executive session. If you would like
to keep the current process, no change is needed.

MICHAEL COUNT SCHOOLS
1807
Public Chapter 844 requires districts to determine whether a mid-year transfer student was
previously enrolled in a public school in the same school year and request the student's attendance
records. The receiving district must then include the unexcused absences from the previous school
district in the student's current total to implement the appropriate truancy intervention tier, if
applicable.
Policy 6.202 - Home Schools
Previously, state law required certain actions if a homeschool student fell below grade level. Public
Chapter 912 has removed this portion of the statute. Additionally, this new law changes the types of
tests that may be administered to homeschool students and permits the parent to select a
standardized test.
Policy 6.205 - Student Assignments
State law now requires that principals create a safety plan for a student with an order of protection
against another student.
Policy 6.303 - Questioning Students and Searches
Public Chapter 1040 expands on last year's legislation regarding who may conduct searches of
students. This new law adds school employees who have completed the required orientation and
training to the list of individuals who may conduct searches authorized by the principal.
Policy 6.306 - Interference/Disruption of School Activities
A recent change to state law requires Boards to have a policy on alerting parents when a classroom
evacuation occurs in response to another student's behavior.
Policy 6.318 - Admission of Suspended or Expelled Students
Public Chapter 760 permits school districts to continue an investigation of a student disciplinary
incident even if the student withdraws. Further, it clarifies that the investigation and/or disciplinary
consequences may resume if the student re-enrolls.
Policy (6.412aTSBA) HCSS 6.4051 - Emergency Allergy Response Plan
The policy contains a provision on schools storing epinephrine in case of emergency. TSBA
recommends updating it with the new version. Public Chapter 947 updates state law to clarify that
epinephrine may be purchased in a variety of forms, not solely as an auto-injector. We have updated
the relevant model policy to align with that language.
NEW Policy 6.4053 - Outside Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy
Boards are required to adopt a policy on outside applied behavior analysis therapy per Public
Chapter 1112. This new state law requires Boards to adopt a policy allowing these private pay
providers access to school property if they are under contract with parents/guardians and have
signed a memorandum of understanding with the district. The Department of Education will be
issuing guidance on this topic. TSBA will send out an update to the model policy, if needed.
Policy 6.506 - Students from Military Families
Public Chapter 834 updates requirements for school districts regarding students from military
families. Previously, state law allowed Boards to choose how much time these students had to
provide documentation of relocation to the district. Per this recent change, students must now
provide this information within one calendar year of the date of enrollment. The new law further
clarifies that districts must take appropriate steps to assist any of these students with IEPs, 504
plans, or individualized family service plans. Additionally, Public Chapter 834 states that if a military
family relocates outside of the district, any students enrolled in grades 11 or 12 must be allowed to
remain enrolled in the same high school until they either graduate or withdraw.

3
Plus and minus evaluations are not to be added to letter grades. Grades are not to be changed once
4
recorded on a report card. If an erroneous grade has been recorded, correction must be made on a new
5
card.
6
Grades given at the end of each nine (9) weeks period for elementary, intermediate, middle school, and
7
high school will be determined from daily work, homework, written assignments and tests. The teacher
8
will weigh the value of grades given for various assignments and tests within the applicable period in
9
computing the grade. This procedure will enable the teacher to allow for individual student differences
10
in the grading process. Any assignments and tests required of a student must be considered in the
11
computation of his grade.
12
At the middle school level and at the high school level, grades will be determined by an average of grades
13
for each of the two 9-week periods. The grades given at the end of each nine (9) weeks period shall be
14
the grade earned by the student, as computed by the teacher, and shall not be subject to manipulation,
15
regardless of the passing or failing nature of the grade provided that said teacher has documented
16
verification on file that he/she has reasonably attempted to contact the student's parent(s) or guardian(s)

PROMOTION¹
2
The director of schools/designee shall promote students to the next grade level based on the successful
3
completion of required academic work and on the satisfactory progress in each of the relevant
4
academic areas. However, no student enrolled in the third grade shall be promoted unless the student
5
has shown a basic understanding of curriculum and the ability to perform the skills required in the
6
subject of reading as demonstrated by the student's grades or standardized test results. This
7
requirement shall not apply to students who are participating in a board-approved, research-based
8
intervention prior to the beginning of the next school year or to students who have an individualized
9
education program (IEP). 2
10
Students who have difficulty in achieving the requirements for promotion may be considered for
11
retention. Schools shall identify these students by February 1st. Factors used to identify students for
12
retention shall include:
13
1. The student's ability to perform at the current grade level;
14
15
2. The results of local assessments, if applicable;
16
17
3. State assessments, as applicable;
18
19
4. Home Literacy Reports;³

21
5. The overall academic achievement of the student;
22
23
6. The student's chance for success with more difficult material if promoted to the next grade;
24
25
7. Attendance; and

VOLUNTARY RETENTION
7
A parent/guardian of a student enrolled in kindergarten through second grade may choose to retain
8
his/her student in the current grade level if:
9
1.
The student has a documented academic or behavioral delay; and
10
2.
The parent/guardian believes that retention may benefit the student. 5
11
This information shall be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days of the end of the school year. The
12
district shall send written notice to the parent/guardian confirming whether the student is eligible for
13
retention under state law.
14
PROMOTION PLANS⁶
15
When a student is identified for retention, the student's parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be notified within
16
fifteen (15) calendar days, and an individualized promotion plan shall be developed to help the student
17
avoid retention. The plan shall be developed in coordination with the student's teachers, IEP or 504
18
team, if applicable, and may also include input from the student's parent(s)/guardian(s), school
19
counselor, or other appropriate school personnel.
20
Promotion plans shall incorporate evidence-based strategies, including expectations and measurements
21
that will verify whether a student has made sufficient progress to be promoted to the next grade level,
22
and be tailored to the student's learning needs. Promotion plans for students in third and fourth grade
23
will include additional requirements for promoting students in these grades. A copy of the plan will be
24
provided to the student's parent(s)/guardian(s), and the school shall offer the opportunity for a parent-
25
teacher conference to discuss the plan. If a student is not making progress on the promotion plan, then
26
the strategies shall be modified. Parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be provided with any changes to the
27
promotion plan.
28
A student who demonstrates sufficient academic progress according to his/her promotion plan shall be
29
promoted to the next grade level unless retention is required per additional requirements for students in
30
third and fourth grade. 7
31
If a student has not demonstrated sufficient academic progress according to his/her promotion plan by
32
the end of the school year, the student shall be eligible to enroll in a summer reading or learning
33
program, if available. Parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be notified of a decision for retention at least ten (10)
34
calendar days prior to the start of the next school year if the student was enrolled in a summer program.
35
However, if the student wasn't enrolled in a summer program, the parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be
36
notified of a decision for retention at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the start of the next school
37
year. 8

6
assignments may be designated in lieu of suspending an employee without pay, as deemed appropriate
7
by the Director of Schools or his/her designee.

SUSPENSION PENDING AN INVESTIGATION 1
9
The director of schools may suspend a teacher at any time that may seem necessary, pending
10

11
is not the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation or a department of children's services
12
investigation, and if no charges for dismissal have been made, a suspension pending investigation shall

19
provided with written notice, including the reasons for the suspension along with an explanation of the
20
evidence; (2) given an opportunity to respond to the director at a conference, if requested within five
21
(5) days; and (3) given a written decision of the suspension within ten (10) days. Both parties may be
22
represented by counsel at the conference, which shall be recorded.

28
impartial hearing officers, as defined under Tennessee law.

3
this decision, a copy of the charges against the teacher, and a copy of a form provided by the
4
Commissioner of Education advising the teacher of his/her legal duties, rights and recourse.

parties or the attorneys for the parties, or both, to appear before the hearing officer for simplification of
11
issues and the scheduling of the hearing. That hearing shall be set no later than thirty (30) days following

25
the decision of the Hearing officer, send the record back for additional evidence, revise the penalty or

33
extenuating circumstances, shall forfeit all tenure status. The Board may waive the thirty (30) days'
34
notice requirement and permit a teacher to resign in good standing.⁵
35
The conditions under which it is permissible to break a contract with the Board are as follows:
36

21
attendance at school is required. Students shall be present at least fifty percent (50%) of the scheduled
22
school day in order to be counted present. Students may attend part-time days, alternating days, or for a
23
specific amount of time as indicated in their Individualized Education Plan or 504 Plan and shall be
24
considered present for school attendance purposes. If a student is required to participate in a remedial
25
instruction program outside of the regular school day where there is no cost to the parent(s) and the
26
school system provides transportation, unexcused absences from these programs shall be reported in the
27
same manner.⁷
28
Students who are absent five (5) days without adequate excuse shall be reported to the director of
29
schools/designee who will, in turn, provide written notice to the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the student's
30
absence. If a parent does not provide documentation within adequate time excusing those absences, or
31
request an attendance hearing, then the Director of Schools shall implement the progressive truancy
32
intervention plan described below prior to referral to juvenile court.
33
The director of schools/designee shall develop appropriate administrative procedures to implement this
34
policy.
35

4. An individualized assessment by a school employee of the reasons a student has been
32
absent from school. This may result in referral to counseling, community-based services,
33
or other services to address the student's attendance problems.
34
Tier III
35
This tier shall be implemented if the truancy interventions under Tier II are unsuccessful.

MAKE-UP WORK
6
All missed class work or tests (whether from excused or unexcused absence) may be made up provided
7
the student makes the request immediately upon returning to school and provided instruction time is not
8
taken from other students.
9
A grade of incomplete will be received for any work missed until the work is completed. A student may
10
have up to three (3) days to make up work from a single absence and up to five (5) days to make up work
11
from an absence longer than a single day. It is the student's responsibility to make arrangements for
12
make-up work, and if not completed in the allotted time, a grade of zero (0) will be recorded for the
13
assignments.
14
For school-sponsored activities, the student will be required to make up all work missed and will receive
15
full credit for the assignment or upon completion of a test. The student will not be counted absent for a
16
school sponsored event (school planned, school-directed, and teacher supervised).

18
Students who are absent the day of the scheduled End of Course Exams must present a signed doctor's
19
excuse or must have been given an excused release by the principal prior to testing to receive an excused
20
absence. Students who have excused absences will be allowed to take a make-up exam that will count
21
as 15% of their grade. Excused students will receive an incomplete in the course until they have taken
22
the End of Course Exam.
23
Students who have an unexcused absence shall receive a failing grade on the course exam which shall
24
be averaged into their final grade at 15%.
25
CREDIT/PROMOTION DENIAL
26
Credit/promotion denial determinations may include student attendance, however, student attendance
27
may not be the sole criterion. 11 However, if attendance is a factor, prior to credit/promotion denial, the
28
following shall occur:
29
30
1. Parents and students shall be advised if a student is in danger of credit/promotion denial due
31
to excessive absenteeism.
32
2. Procedures in due process are available to the student when credit or promotion is denied.
33
DRIVER'S LICENSE REVOCATION²
34

ATTENDANCE HEARING¹
2
Students with excessive (more than 5) unexcused absences or those in danger of credit/promotion denial
3
shall have the opportunity to appeal to an attendance hearing committee appointed by the principal. If
4
the student chooses to appeal, the student or their parent/guardian shall be provided written or actual
5
notice of the appeal hearing and shall be given the opportunity to address the committee. The committee
6
will conduct a hearing to determine if any extenuating circumstances exist or to determine if the student
7
has met attendance requirements that will allow him/her to pass the course or be promoted. Upon
8
notification of the attendance committee decision, the principal shall send written notification to the
9
director of schools/designee and the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the student of any action taken regarding
10
the excessive unexcused absences. The notification shall advise parents/guardian(s) of their right to
11
appeal such action within two (2) school days to the director of schools/designee.
12
The appeal shall be heard no later than ten (10) school days after the request for appeal is received.
13
Within five (5) school days of the director of schools/designee rendering a decision, the student's
14
parent(s)/guardian(s) may request a hearing by the Board, and the Board shall review the record.
15
Following the review, the Board may affirm or overturn the decision of the director of schools/designee.
16
The action of the Board shall be final.
17
The director of schools/designee shall ensure that this policy is posted in each school building and
18
disseminated to all students, parents, teachers and administrative staff.

INTERROGATIONS BY SCHOOL PERSONNEL
2
School personnel have a duty to report any reasonable suspicion that a student is carrying, or has
3
carried, a weapon or is violating, or has violated, a provision of the Tennessee Drug Control Act to the
4
principal, the principal's designee or, if the principal and the principal's designee are unavailable and
5
the offense was committed on school property, to the appropriate authorities.
6
Students may be questioned by teachers or principals about any matter pertaining to the operation of a
7
school and/or the enforcement of its rules. Questioning must be conducted discreetly and under
8
circumstances which will avoid unnecessary embarrassment to the student being questioned. Any
9
student answering falsely, evasively or refusing to answer a proper question may be subject to
10
disciplinary action, including suspension.
11
If a student is suspected or accused of misconduct or infraction of the student code of conduct, the
12
principal may interrogate the student, without the presence of parent(s)/guardian(s) or legal custodians
13
and without giving the student constitutional warnings.
14
INTERROGATIONS BY POLICE (AT ADMINISTRATOR'S REQUEST)
15
If the principal has requested assistance by the police department to investigate a crime involving
16
his/her school, the police shall have permission to interrogate a student suspect in school during school
17
hours. The principal shall first attempt to notify the parent(s)/guardian(s) or legal custodians of the
18
student of the intended interrogation unless circumstances require otherwise. The interrogation may
19
proceed without attendance of the parent(s)/guardian(s) or legal custodians. The principal or his/her
20
designee shall be present during the interrogation.
21
The use of police women or female staff members is desirable in the interrogation of female students.
22
POLICE-INITIATED INTERROGATIONS
23
If the police deem circumstances of sufficient urgency to interrogate students at school for unrelated
24
crimes committed outside of school hours, the police department shall first contact the principal
25
regarding the planned interrogation, inform him/her of the probable cause to investigate within the
26
school. The principal shall make reasonable effort to notify the parent(s)/guardian(s) or legal
27
custodians of the interrogation unless circumstances require otherwise. The interrogation may proceed
28
without attendance of the parent(s)/guardian(s) or legal custodians. The principal or his/her designee

17
and
18

2
may make a general search of students' lockers and desks, or students' or nonstudents' automobiles for
3
drugs, weapons or items of an illegal or prohibited nature.
4
If the principal has received reliable information which he/she believes to be true that evidence of a
5
crime or of stolen goods, not involving school property of members of the school staff or student body,

7
school discipline or to the health and safety of a student or the student body, he/she shall request police
8
assistance; and procedures to obtain and execute a search warrant shall thereafter be followed.
9
Anything found in the course of the search conducted in accordance with this policy which is evidence
10
of a violation of the law or a violation of student conduct standards may be:
11
1. Seized and admitted as evidence in any hearing, trial, suspension or dismissal proceeding. It
12

23
designee may request the assistance of a law enforcement officer to:
24
1. Search any area of the school premises, any student or any motor vehicle on the school
25
premises; or
26
27
2. Identify or dispose of anything found in the course of a search conducted in accordance with
28
this policy.

The involvement of law enforcement officials is encouraged when there is reasonable cause to suspect
30
that criminal evidence is about to be uncovered.

9
4. Explain the process for filing a formal complaint. 10
10
While the school district will respect the confidentiality of the complainant and the respondent as much
11
as possible, some information may need to be disclosed to appropriate individuals. All disclosures shall

be consistent with the school district's legal obligations and the necessity to investigate allegations of
13
harassment and take disciplinary action.
14

15
process has been completed. Unless there is an immediate threat to the physical health or safety of any

student arising from the allegation of sexual harassment that justifies removal, the respondent's
17
placement shall not be changed. 11 If the respondent is an employee, he/she may be placed on
18
administrative leave during the pendency of the grievance process. 12 The Title IX Coordinator shall

27
notification shall be made per the board policy on reporting child abuse.

33
false information;
34
35

27
proceeding;

11
investigation and allow each party the opportunity to submit written questions that he/she wants asked
12
of any party or witness prior to the determining responsibility.
13
The decision-maker shall make a determination regarding responsibility and provide the written
14
determination to the parties simultaneously along with information about how to file an appeal.

24
smoking of cigarettes and their effect upon the human system; history of Tennessee and its
25
Constitution; history of the United States and its Constitution; displaying of the American flag;

highway safety; and defensive driving.
27
The Board reserves the right to add additional courses and to amend the content of prescribed courses
28
as experience and the process of curriculum development indicate the desirability of such change.

| 1 2 | Attendance records will not be the sole criterion in determining the awarding of grades or the passing of a course or promotion or retention. |
| --- | --- |
| 3 4 5 | Plus and minus evaluations are not to be added to letter grades. Grades are not to be changed once recorded on a report card. If an erroneous grade has been recorded, correction must be made on a new card. |
| 6 7 8 9 10 11 | Grades given at the end of each nine (9) weeks period for elementary, intermediate, middle school, and high school will be determined from daily work, homework, written assignments and tests. The teacher will weigh the value of grades given for various assignments and tests within the applicable period in computing the grade. This procedure will enable the teacher to allow for individual student differences in the grading process. Any assignments and tests required of a student must be considered in the computation of his grade. |
| 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 | At the middle school level and at the high school level, grades will be determined by an average of grades for each of the two 9-week periods. The grades given at the end of each nine (9) weeks period shall be the grade earned by the student, as computed by the teacher, and shall not be subject to manipulation, regardless of the passing or failing nature of the grade provided that said teacher has documented verification on file that he/she has reasonably attempted to contact the student's parent(s) or guardian(s) making them aware of the student's failing grade or grades. The final grade of the year will be determined by averaging the two (2) semester grades. |
| 19 20 21 | The work of a student whose grades are satisfactory but are withheld because of failure to complete the required work shall be reported as incomplete (I). If the incomplete is not removed in the time designated by the teacher, it will then become an "F". |
| 22 | GRADES NINE - TWELVE GRADING SCALE AND LOTTERY SCHOLARSHIPS³ |
| 23 24 25 26 | Schools teaching grades nine through twelve shall use the uniform grading system established by the State Board of Education. Using the uniform grading system, students' grades shall be reported for the purposes of application for post secondary financial assistance administered by the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation. |
| 27 28 29 | Each school counselor shall provide incoming freshman with information on college core courses required for lottery scholarships as well as necessary criteria (grade point average, ACT, and SAT score, etc.) that must be met in order to receive a scholarship. |
| 30 31 32 33 | Seniors may apply for the Tennessee HOPE Scholarship by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is available at the guidance office or on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students shall be made aware of all applicable FAFSA deadlines and encouraged to submit applications in a timely manner. |
| 34 35 | Elementary school counselors should explain the HOPE Scholarship and its requirements to their students and impress upon them the benefits of making good grades. |

| 6 | VOLUNTARY RETENTION |
| 7 8 | A parent/guardian of a student enrolled in kindergarten through second grade may choose to retain his/her student in the current grade level if: |
| 9 | 1. The student has a documented academic or behavioral delay; and |
| 10 | 2. The parent/guardian believes that retention may benefit the student. 5 |
| 11 12 13 | This information shall be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days of the end of the school year. The district shall send written notice to the parent/guardian confirming whether the student is eligible for retention under state law. |
| 14 | PROMOTION PLANS⁶ |
| 15 16 17 18 19 | When a student is identified for retention, the student's parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be notified within fifteen (15) calendar days, and an individualized promotion plan shall be developed to help the student avoid retention. The plan shall be developed in coordination with the student's teachers, IEP or 504 team, if applicable, and may also include input from the student's parent(s)/guardian(s), school counselor, or other appropriate school personnel. |
| 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 | Promotion plans shall incorporate evidence-based strategies, including expectations and measurements that will verify whether a student has made sufficient progress to be promoted to the next grade level, and be tailored to the student's learning needs. Promotion plans for students in third and fourth grade will include additional requirements for promoting students in these grades. A copy of the plan will be provided to the student's parent(s)/guardian(s), and the school shall offer the opportunity for a parent- teacher conference to discuss the plan. If a student is not making progress on the promotion plan, then the strategies shall be modified. Parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be provided with any changes to the promotion plan. |
| 28 29 30 | A student who demonstrates sufficient academic progress according to his/her promotion plan shall be promoted to the next grade level unless retention is required per additional requirements for students in third and fourth grade. 7 |
| 31 | If a student has not demonstrated sufficient academic progress according to his/her promotion plan by |
| 32 | the end of the school year, the student shall be eligible to enroll in a summer reading or learning |
| 33 | program, if available. Parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be notified of a decision for retention at least ten (10) |
| 34 | calendar days prior to the start of the next school year if the student was enrolled in a summer program. |
| 35 | However, if the student wasn't enrolled in a summer program, the parent(s)/guardian(s) shall be |
| 36 | notified of a decision for retention at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the start of the next school |
| 37 | year. 8 |

## Table 89

| 2 3 | A student may be retained when, in the judgment of the student's teacher and/or the student's IEP team, such retention is in the best interest of the student or when retention is required per additional |
| 4 5 | requirements for students in third and fourth grade. However, a student shall not be retained more than once in any grade. |
| 6 | Decision of Retention⁹ |
| 7 8 9 10 | If a student is retained, the director of schools/designee shall develop an individualized academic remediation plan within thirty (30) calendar days after the beginning of the next school year. A copy of the plan shall be provided to the student's parent/guardian within ten (10) days of its development. This plan shall include at least one of the following strategies: |
| 11 | 1. Adjustment to the current instructional strategies or materials; |
| 12 13 | 2. Additional instructional time; |
| 14 |  |
| 15 16 | 3. Individual tutoring outside of school hours; |
| 17 18 19 | 4. Modification to the student's classroom assignment to ensure the student receives instruction from a highly effective teacher; or |
| 20 | 5. Attendance or truancy interventions. |
| 21 22 | The director of schools shall develop procedures to ensure proper monitoring of students who are retained and appropriate recordkeeping. |
| 23 24 25 | For the purpose of determining the effectiveness of retention toward improving student achievement, the progress of retained students shall be closely monitored and reported to parent(s)/guardian(s) at least three (3) times during the school year in which the student is retained. |
| 26 | Decision of Retention - Third Grade¹⁰ |
| 27 28 29 | Third grade students shall not be promoted to the next grade unless they are determined to be proficient (i.e., receive a performance level rating of "Met" or "Exceeded") in English language arts (ELA) based on the student's most recent TCAP test. |
| 30 | Students who are not proficient in ELA may still be promoted if the following conditions are met: |
| 31 32 | 1. A student in third grade receiving a performance level rating of "approaching" on the ELA portion of the student's most recent TCAP test may be promoted if: |
| 33 34 | a. The student is an English language learner and has received less than two (2) full years of ELA instruction; |
| 35 | b. The student was previously retained in grades K-3; |

## Table 90

| 5 6 |  | e. The student receives tutoring for the entirety of the next school year in accordance with state law. |
| 7 8 9 |  | f. Beginning with the 2023-2024 school year, the student demonstrates proficiency in ELA standards by scoring within the fiftieth percentile on the most recently administered state-provided benchmark assessment and the district provides tutoring |
| 10 |  | services to the student during the entire fourth grade school year and notifies the |
| 11 12 |  | student's parent/guardian, in writing, of the benefits of enrolling the student in summer programming. |
