• AB 104 FOR ALL

     provides options for students and parents/caregivers to address learning recovery needs.  Each area of the new law is described below.

    Student Retention for 2021-2022

    Parents/caregivers of students enrolled in kindergarten through 11th grade during the 2020-21 school year who received deficient grades, which is defined as a D, F, or No Credit grade for at least one-half of the coursework in the last school year, may submit a written request to the school for a meeting to discuss learning recovery options, research regarding retention, and data regarding student progress. The consultation with administration and teacher(s) will occur within 30 calendar days of receiving the written request.  The district has the ultimate authority of deciding whether or not to retain a student. Parents/caregivers will be notified of the decision within 10 calendar days of the consultation. Please contact your student's counselor which can be found on your student's Quick Lookup on PowerSchool. 

    Opportunity to Change Grades to Pass/No Pass

    Students who were enrolled in high school during the 2020-21 academic year may apply to have one or more letter grades replaced with a pass or no pass grade.  There is not a limit on the number or type of courses eligible for the grade change. Interested students must contact their counselors by August 27, 2021. It is imperative to note that Local Education Agencies are prohibited by Assembly Bill 104 from accepting late applications. Once the application is received, Student & Community Services will notify the student and family of the grade changes within 15 calendar days.
