Title

Education, public K-12 schools, to require tutoring for K-3 students who receive failing grades within the first nine weeks of school

Description

This bill would require students from kindergarten through third grade in public K-12 schools who receive a failing grade in a subject during the first nine weeks of school to receive accelerated instruction in that subject.

This bill would require a public K-12 school to form a committee, for each student requiring the instruction, to develop an educational plan for the student that provides the necessary accelerated instruction to enable the student to perform at the appropriate level by the conclusion of the semester.

This bill would require additional accelerated instruction for students who continue to receive failing grades in any subject area for subsequent grading periods.

This bill would also require the State Board of Education to adopt rules.
