A student who is not meeting the school district or state requirements for satisfactory

following plans:
1. a federally required student plan such as an individual education plan;
2. a school wide system of progress monitoring for all students, except a student who
scores Level 4 or above on the English Language Arts and mathematics assessments
may be exempted from participation by the principal; or
3. an individualized progress monitoring plan. [Florida Statute § 1008.25(4)(b)]

Mandatory Retention for Grade 3 Students
To be promoted to Grade 4, a student must score a Level 2 or higher on the Florida Standards

ELA or scoring at Level 1 on the assessment must meet a good cause exemption in order to be
promoted to Grade 4.

notification must comply with the Student Report Cards provisions of Florida Statutes §§
1002.20(14) and 1003.33(2), as well as include a description of proposed interventions and
