INSTRUCTIONAL REMEDIATION

It shall be the policy of the Mountain Brook Board of Education to provide remedial instruction for each student whose performance on tests of desired knowledge and skills falls below a specified minimum level deemed appropriate for the student.  The effectiveness of remedial instruction shall be assessed by appropriate tests of student performance, test data being collected and retained to document such effectiveness.  In the case of a system-wide program of testing of student knowledge and skills, the school district’s professional staff shall describe in writing the procedures used to correct student deficiencies identified.

The above policy is not to be construed as prohibiting efforts by the school district to encourage and assist each student in achieving higher than minimum levels of performance.

Adopted:  April 22, 1985
