The decision of the principal is final. F. Special Education Students:
Special Education students will be subject to the general policy regarding graduation unless extenuating circumstances are in evidence, which might exclude such students from satisfactorily completing the district performance standards and / or the grading policy as determined by the Planning and Placement Team( P. P. T.). It is expected that the P. P. T. will recommend“ exemptions” from this Board policy as early in the program planning stage as may be feasible but after the student has participated in the SAT assessment.
G. Modifications and Accommodations:
Students who have been identified as ESL / ELL may be allowed modifications or accommodations by a school review committee in order to meet any of the conditions set forth in the performance standards section. The review committee may exempt such students if, in the opinion of the committee, they deem the language barriers to be a significant impediment to satisfying the conditions set forth in Section C. 1.
H. Options for Students Who Fail to Meet Performance Standards:
Individuals who have met all other graduation requirements except the literacy and / or numeracy and / or science standards are entitled to retake the DPT during the times scheduled and published by the school district or provide evidence of acceptable SAT / ACT scores to meet graduation requirements until attaining the age of 21, consistent with the age limits for returning to school as stated in CT Statute 10-220. Upon reaching the age of 21, this option no longer will be offered, and individuals must then seek an Adult Education Diploma.
If an individual elects to enroll in Adult Education, he or she must follow the guidelines established for the Adult Education Diploma.
