What if a child does not score adequately or fails an evaluation?
If a child takes a nationally standardized achievement test and has a composite score above the 13th percentile or has a favorable evaluation such child shall remain exempt from compulsory attendance law.If a child’s composite score is at or below the 13th percentile, the school district shall require the parents to place said child in a public or independent or parochial school until the next testing period; except that no action shall be taken until the child is given the opportunity to be retested using an alternate version of the same test or a different nationally standardized achievement test selected by the parent from a list of approved tests by the state board.If the evaluation results show that a child is not making sufficient academic progress, the school district shall require the child’s parents to place the child in a public or independent or parochial school until the next testing period.
