Promotion and Retention Decisions Based on Milestones Results - Waived by State Board
On May 5, 2016, the State Board of Education granted a waiver of State Board Rule 160-4-2-.11 PROMOTION, PLACEMENT, AND RETENTION tied to the 2016 administration of the Georgia Milestones End of Grade (EOG) tests. This waiver means that students in grade three do not have to earn an At/Above Grade Level designation in reading on the Georgia Milestones assessment to be promoted to fourth grade. In grades five and eight, students will not have to earn an At/Above Grade Level designation in reading, as well as score in the Developing Learner achievement level or above in mathematics, on the Georgia Milestone assessments to be promoted to the next grade. Local school teams will determine promotion and retention based on a combination of classroom grades, teacher recommendation, the reading and mathematics diagnostic, and local formative assessments. The school counselors are completing the 8th Grade Career Cruising lessons. The 8th graders are learning more about how possible careers are matching their interests, and the students are completing their Individual Graduation Plans (IGP) for high school. The IGPs are simply a guide to help students and parents forecast the courses for grades 9-12.
