It shall be the policy of the Fairland Local School Board of Education that any student who remains “Not on Track” after testing following the third grade year will be retained in the third grade. Students retained will receive at least 90 minutes of reading instruction daily. “Not on Track” is a score below 394 on the Fall 2014 or Spring 2015 Third Grade Ohio Reading Assessment.

If a student remains “Not on Track” after the repeat year in the third grade, the student will be considered for Intervention Based Assessment. The Intervention Based Assessment is the process that is in place leading to actual testing for learning disabilities.

This policy was adopted according to state law at the regular school board meeting on October 14, 2013.

When the test results arrive, we will send a report home to each family. If your child fails the test, you will be invited to a meeting at school. With your help, we will develop an Intervention Plan for your child.
