Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Under NCLB, the school district must offer summer and retesting but the parent does not have to place their child in summer school or retest them. If the child is on an IEP, the IEP team becomes the promotion and retention committee to decide if the child gets promoted. Typically (but of course not always), if the child is on an IEP, they would be promoted. Also the team looks at did the child receive the instruction or did they miss it? If the child missed a lot of instruction then they would more seriously consider retention but if they received the instruction, there is no reason to retain them for them to get the same material presented the same way.
