All School Levels
No student shall be promoted to the next grade if the student has been truant for more than ten percent (10%) of the required attendance days of the current school year and has failed two (2) or more of the required curriculum subject areas in the current grade unless the student’s principal and the teachers of any failed subject areas agree that the student is academically prepared to be promoted to the next grade level.
Unless indicated otherwise, "academically prepared" as used in this policy means that the student’s principal, in consultation with the student’s teacher(s), has reviewed the student’s work and records and has concluded that, in the principal’s judgment as a professional educator, the student is capable of progressing through and successfully completing work at the next grade level.
