PROMOTION  AND  RETENTION 
OF  STUDENTS

(High School Course Pass or Fail)

Regular  Education

The District is dedicated to the continuous development of each student.

The earning of credit for a high school course is based on the student's satisfactory completion of the course academic requirements as demonstrated by the student's course grade.  Periodic grade reports shall inform the student and the student's parent(s)/guardian(s) of the student's progress in a course.  The teacher should further inform and confer with the student's parent(s)/guardian(s) whenever the student's lack of satisfactory progress in the course indicates a trend toward the student receiving a failing course grade.  No course credit is granted for a failing grade.

A student must achieve passing grades in the number of required and elective course credits prescribed by the Governing Board and the State Board of Education to be granted a high school diploma.

In addition to the above, such decisions, when applied to students enrolled in special education, shall be on a case-by-case basis, consistent with the individualized education program and in accordance with A.A.C. R7-2-301 and R7-2-401.

Special  Education

Students who do not meet regular promotion requirements must meet the course of study and promotion requirements for special education under the guidance of A.A.C. R7-2-401.  The programs for such students may include adaptations.

Any student unable to meet regular academic requirements for promotion must meet the requirements of an alternative curriculum derived from the regular curriculum, which will be developed by an individualized educational program (IEP) team on an individual basis.  Students placed in special education will complete the course of study as prescribed in their IEP.  Course work will be presented at a level commensurate with the student's ability.  The student's permanent file shall identify the courses completed through special education; however, the student will receive the standard certificate of promotion.
