Schools across the state were thrown a curve from the Ohio Department of Education in August when the Third Grade Guarantee was established in accordance with Senate Bill 316, due for full implementation no later than September 30^th. This requires that students in grades K-3 be assessed in reading and identified as “on track” or “off track” for grade level success. The legislation requires that beginning with this 2012-13 school year, third grade students who score below a 390 on the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA) in Reading will be retained, or held in grade 3 for another year. There are some exceptions for students who have cognitive delays and an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) and for those students with limited English proficiency.
