INSTRUCTION <br />2600 <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 <br /> <br />PROMOTION/RETENTION (K-6) <br /> <br />The Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 Board of Trustees recognizes that students <br />of the same age are at many intellectual and developmental levels and that these <br />differences are a normal part of human development. Because of these differences, <br />the administration and teaching staff are directed to make every effort to develop <br />curricula and programs that meet the individual and unique needs of all students and <br />allow them to remain with their age cohorts. <br /> <br /> <br />Guidelines <br /> <br />1. It is the philosophy of the District: <br /> <br />a. That students thrive best when placed or promoted to grade levels with other <br />students who have compatible age, physical, and social/emotional status. <br /> <br />b. To promote students who demonstrate effort within those compatibilities. <br /> <br />c. To retain students who do not make a reasonable effort to meet grade level <br />expectations, as long as those expectations are commensurate with the <br />individual student’s ability and rate of learning. <br /> <br />2. If a parent requests that a child be retained or promoted: <br /> <br />a. Relevant student achievement and/or ability data will be shared with parents and <br />the school support team to assist in making an appropriate determination <br />pursuant to 2367P Advanced Opportunities Procedures. <br /> <br />b. If there is a difference in opinion regarding the appropriate placement of the <br />child, the majority of the support team will make the decision. <br /> <br />c. A notice will be placed in the child's file that the retention or promotio n was <br />recommended by the school support team. <br /> <br /> <br />Adopted: 10-12-2005 Reviewed: Revised: 11-05-2014 <br /> <br />
