File: JGA - Assignment of New Students to Classes and Grade Levels

NOTE: While Colorado school districts are not required by law to adopt a policy on this subject, some content in this sample reflects legal requirements school districts must follow. This sample contains the content/language that CASB believes best meets the intent of the law. However, the district should consult with its own legal counsel to determine appropriate language that meets local circumstances and needs.

New students entering from public schools and accredited private schools shall be placed in grades and classes on the basis of their grade placement/credits in the school from which they are transferring.

The district administration, through academic achievement tests and other evaluation measures as found necessary, shall determine the appropriate grade level/credit status of students transferring from home-based educational programs and non-accredited private schools.
