A bill that would allow parents to have their children repeat a grade because of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on learning is headed to the state House after the Senate unanimously passed it on Wednesday.
Senate Bill 664, introduced by Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman of Centre County, was approved by both the Senate Education and Appropriations committees this week before it was quickly approved by the full Senate.
Corman said that the decision to hold a student back is now made by schools and teachers, but his bill would give that option to parents for the 2021-22 school year this fall.

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin could face up to 30 years in prison after a Minnesota judge ruled there were several aggravating factors in the murder of George Floyd.
Chauvin, 45, abused his authority as a police officer when he restrained Floyd last May by kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes and not rendering medical aid even when it became clear Floyd was in medical distress, Judge Peter Cahill said in a ruling made public Wednesday.
Cahill found Chauvin treated Floyd with particular cruelty because of the prolonged nature of the asphyxiation and because Floyd made it clear he was having trouble breathing. Floyd said, I can t breathe at least 27 times in bystander video of his death.
