Davidson County board approves EOG/EOC remediation and re-administration plan
Summary
School leaders won board approval to remediate and re-administer end-of-grade and end-of-course tests after the school year, with transportation not provided and meals offered to participating students.
The Davidson County Board of Education approved a district plan on March 3 to provide remediation and re-administration of end-of-grade (EOG) and end-of-course (EOC) tests after the school year, a step staff said is required by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction for any re-test that will count toward school and district accountability.
Under the plan staff presented, students who do not pass initial administrations of ELA and math EOGs (and certain high-school EOCs) will receive a minimum of four hours of targeted remediation—district staff said they plan for approximately five hours—followed by readministration of the test the next day. Schools will offer breakfast and lunch at no charge to participating students, but the district will not provide transportation; parents must provide travel to and from campus. The district said summer-school funding previously covered transportation, but the current plan relies on different funds and cannot pay bus costs.
Scheduling details in the proposal include staggered half-day remediation windows to reduce student fatigue and aid families with students in different school levels. Elementary remediation approximations included a math remediation day (June 9) followed by a math re-test, and a reading remediation and re-test the following week; middle and high school schedules use multi-day remediation blocks and staggered start times to ease drop-off and pickup. High school readministrations include Math I and Math 3 in early June and English II later in the testing window to allow the state’s scoring timeline to return results in time for remediation.
Board members asked how absent students would be handled. “It is required by the state that they remediate in order to be readministered,” said Dr. Coley (staff member). The district confirmed students who miss remediation are not eligible for readministration. Principals and school leaders said they would contact families individually as well as sending letters home to alert parents when remediation is scheduled.
Board members approved the plan by voice vote with no recorded opposition. Staff said principals will offer incentives to teachers who provide remediation on workdays and will notify families with letters and direct contacts once scores are available.
The board also discussed that science EOGs were not included in the readministration plan this year because state scoring for the new science standards will not be returned until August, beyond the district’s remediation timeline.
