Rule 6430 – Guidelines for Providing Assistance to Students With Academic Problems

If a student refuses to complete assignments and/or participate in class activities and/or accept the availability of special help by a teacher, the teacher will confer with the student. The teacher may require the student to report after school and/or refer the student to the counselor if available and/or contact the parent/guardian. If such measures fail to improve the problem, a conference will be held with the student, parent/guardian, teacher(s) concerned, the principal/designee and the counselor for assessment to arrange remediation and/or counseling.

If the student and parent/guardian conferences do not solve the problem, the student will be referred to the individual school staffing committee for appropriate services. The student may be transferred to another teacher. The student must accept help and try, or must accept responsibility for failure.
