J1200 - Grade Placement

The Eugene School District recognizes the importance of considering the individual characteristics of each student in determining grade level placement. Ordinarily, students will benefit most by being advanced to the next grade level at the completion of each academic year.

The building principal should seek agreement among the various parties when there is a need to examine some departure from the usual practice of an annual promotion. When agreement cannot be reached, the principal has authority to determine grade level placement.

Parents may appeal a decision made at the building level to the designated Director, whose decision is final. (The involved Director will serve as the school board's appointee under Oregon Revised Statute 343.077.)
