Requirements for guidelines and thresholds

Sec. 2. The guidelines established in section 1 of this chapter: (1) must provide standards and guidelines for secondary school personnel to determine when a student requires remediation or additional instruction, including guidelines that include: (A) criteria and thresholds that must be based upon: (i) the student's results or score on a national assessment of college and career readiness, with thresholds determined by the commission for higher education and the department in consultation with the state educational institutions; or (ii) the student's qualifying grades, which for purposes of this section are a "B" or higher, in advanced placement, international baccalaureate, or dual credit courses; and (B) a description of the school official who may make a determination based on the criteria to assess whether a student requires remediation or additional instruction; and (2) must provide information on strategies and resources that schools can use to assist a student in achieving the level of academic performance that is appropriate for the student's grade level to: (A) reduce the likelihood that a student will fail a graduation exam (before July 1, 2022) or fail to meet a postsecondary readiness competency established by the state board under IC 20-32-4-1.5(c) and require a graduation waiver under IC 20-32-4-4, IC 20-32-4-4.1, or IC 20-32-4-5; or (B) minimize the necessity for postsecondary remedial course work by the student.
