What is the plan for children who get a 1 on the Citywide English and Math Test?
The plan is to have children attend an all-day summer school program and take the summer school version of the test, which is easier. Summer school as a remedy has a poor track record in preparing students to pass even this easier test. Students who fail the summer school test will be required to repeat 3rd grade at their school. This will affect the learning of other students in the school by contributing to more overcrowding.
