Parents or teachers of students who take the tests a second time and fail may also request a promotion through a waiver. Students who have failed the first two tests, are denied waivers and who do not attend summer school will not be promoted. After attending summer school, if a student fails the test a third time, he will not be promoted. The student's parents may request a review by the Non-promotion Central Appeals Committee, which will recommend a decision to the principal. The ultimate promotion decision is up to the principal of the child's school.
Promotions also depend on passing grades in subjects such as social studies and science.
Principals and teachers will use the locally developed and scored writing samples to determine student progress and make promotion decisions. To be promoted, all Pitt County students must attend at least 160 days of school. High school students must earn a minimum number of credits in English, math, science, social studies, health, physical education and electives.
