| NC | Signed into law 12/2001 | P-12 | Adds section concerning students who have been placed at risk of academic failure. Requires that schools identify students who have been placed at risk for academic failure. Stipulates that identification should occur as early as can be reasonable done and can be based on grades, observations, state assessments and other factors that impact student performance that teachers and administrators consider appropriate, without having to await the results of end-of-grade or end-of-course tests. At the beginning of the school year, a personal education plan must be developed for any student not performing at least at grade level, as identified by the state end-of-grade test. Parents are to be included in the implementation and ongoing review of personal education plans. Older language also stipulates that focused intervention and accelerated activities should include research-based best practices that meet the needs of students and may include coaching, mentoring, tutoring, summer school, Saturday school, and extended days. Requires local school administrative units to provide these activities free of charge to
students and provide transportation free of charge to all students who need it.
