Tennessee Bill Reduces Third Grade Retention Risk.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by WZTV

A bill is advancing in Tennessee that would reduce the number of third graders at risk of retention due to low reading proficiency. The bill would allow schools to use multiple measures of academic progress, in addition to reading proficiency, to determine whether a student should be promoted to fourth grade. This would give students who may struggle with reading but excel in other subjects a better chance of advancing to the next grade.
