Secondary Summer School Requirements:
In grades 6-8, if a student fails one or more of the core subjects, he/she must attend summer school for that course. Failure to attend summer school will result in retention. If a student fails one or more sections of the TAKS test for the enrolled grade and did not receive a failing grade in the corresponding course, he/she must take the corresponding summer school course IF dictated by the Personal Graduation Plan (PGP). A student in grades 6-8 that fails any section of the TAKS test and fails to attend summer school may lose an elective in the 2004/2005 school year. All PGP meetings must have been completed by the end of the 2003/2004 school year. In grades 9-12, a student will be encouraged to attend summer school in any of the above circumstances. Because of block scheduling, a student has time during the school year to retake failed courses but summer school will be HIGHLY encouraged as an intervention for high school students failing one or more sections of TAKS. This schedule assumes a course offering of all four core courses both sessions. Note that junior high periods are two hours and high school periods are three hours (due to credit attainment). A student may take one or two courses per session. A high school student may earn up to 1 credit per session. Cost is $125.00 per session.
