3240 -PERSONAL EDUCATION PLANS
The Durham Public Schools identify students at risk of academic failure based on grades, observations, state assessments, and other factors that impact student performance that teachers and administrators consider appropriate. Students who are at risk of academic failure shall be identified and provided with academic interventions.
Any student in grades K-11 who is not promoted shall be provided with a personal education plan (PEP) for the following school year. In addition, no later than the end of the first quarter or after a teacher has had up to nine weeks of instructional time with a student, a PEP shall be developed or updated for any student at risk of academic failure who is not performing at grade level. Each PEP should include focused intervention, accelerated activities and performance benchmarks for academic improvement.
Schools shall notify parents that a PEP has been developed, provide them with a copy of the PEP, and include them in the implementation and ongoing review of the PEP.
The Superintendent or designee is authorized to develop procedures to implement this policy.
