Can a certificated instructional staff member make the determination of satisfactory progress on a monthly basis, and then delegate the communication of the decision to a classified staff?
No. The rules require that monthly progress reviews be conducted by a certificated teacher, and the results of the reviews be communicated to the student and, where possible, the student’s parent or guardian. In many cases, the results of the review will be determined at the time of the review and thus will be provided to the student/parent by the teacher. When the results are not known until some time after the actual review meeting, a teacher should be available to discuss the results with the student/parent, even if the teacher is not the actual staff member communicating the results.
