Students who have a disability pursuant to the Individuals with a Disability Educational Act (IDEA) will be considered for promotion or retention on a case-by-case basis through the IEP process. Nothing in the state law exempts the student with a disability from meeting district criteria for promotion and retention. It is important, however, for each IEP team to review the expected progress of a student toward the IEP goals and district standards in reading, language arts and mathematics in order to establish individualized criteria for promotion or retention.
