Academic Promotion Policy
It is the policy of this Board of Education to strive to ensure that students meet District goals and objectives and can perform at the expected levels for their grades before being promoted.
Decisions to promote a student to the next grade level shall be based on a number of variables which include but are not limited to the following:
- Successful completion of the curriculum
- Daily attendance
- Performance on the Illinois Standards Achievement Tests (ISAT)
No student will be promoted to the next grade level based solely on age or any other social reason not related to the student’s academic performance.
The school has developed standards for satisfying the criteria for promotion, and reviews and revises appropriate remedial programs to assist students determined not to qualify for promotion to the next grade level.
The student’s educational team shall determine promotion of a student having an individualized education program, or receiving reasonable accommodations pursuant to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
