Portfolio option to promote third graders

Beginning July 1, 2028, a third-grade student who fails the state reading test can be promoted by showing a work portfolio that proves mastery of grade 3 reading standards. The principal reviews the portfolio and the teacher’s documents, including any monitoring plan, IEP, or 504 plan. The principal sends a written recommendation to the superintendent or the charter school’s governing body, which approves or denies it. If approved, the student is promoted and must keep getting reading intervention and intensive instruction.
