Caldwell County Schools approves summer remediation plan and test re-administration for nonproficient students
Summary
The Caldwell County Board of Education approved a summer remediation and test re-administration plan for students who score below Level 3 on end-of-grade or end-of-course tests. The program is voluntary, includes up to four hours of remediation followed by an online re-test, and requires school-submitted test plans.
The Caldwell County Board of Education on a voice vote approved a 2024–25 summer remediation and re-administration plan for students who score below Level 3 on North Carolina end-of-grade (EOG) and end-of-course (EOC) assessments.
Assistant Superintendent for Educational Program Services Dr. Katrina McKellen told the board the district must “submit to the State Board of North Carolina what our plan is” for remediation and re-administration and described the proposed schedule and requirements. Under the plan, students who are not proficient may attend up to four hours of remediation followed by a scheduled online re-administration the next day. For schools on the early calendar, remediation days would be May 19–20; for traditional-calendar schools, June 5–6. Schools must submit individual test plans and the district will allow only students who attended the remediation session to take the re-administration. Attendance is voluntary and determined by parents.
The board approved the item after a brief presentation; members voted “aye” on the motion to post and implement the plan for the 2024–25 school year.
The plan is intended to provide targeted instruction to students who score below the proficiency threshold on state assessments and to comply with State Board of North Carolina testing requirements. McKellen said schools will submit detailed test plans explaining how remediation and the online re-administration will be delivered.
No individual roll-call vote totals were recorded in the public minutes; the transcript shows the board adopted the plan by voice vote. The district did not specify caps on attendance, criteria for placement beyond the Level 3 cutoff, or funding sources for the program during the presentation.
Board members did not direct additional study or amendments at the meeting; the plan will move forward as presented and schools will implement their submitted test plans.
