How are decisions made about student placement within the Primary Program?
Student placement recommendations are made by a committee composed of the classroom teacher, other relevant staff, the principal and the parent(s) or guardian. Evidence to support student placement should be provided by the teacher. This evidence should include a variety of student work samples, complete observational checklists of academic, social, and developmental progress, as well as anecdotal records. The additional year of primary is recommended at the end of the primary program. Under KRS 158.140, final placement decisions are given to the local education agency (i.e., school principal).
