Students who failed classes during the last school year will get a second chance under a bill signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom Friday.
Assembly Bill 104, introduced by Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego,) expands options for students who fell short during the pandemic, which closed most public schools and forced millions of students to learn via computer at home.
The bill expands options for credit recovery which allows students to make up credits for failed or missed courses and for grade retention, where students repeat a grade level. The bill lets students who failed at least half their classes retake a whole grade level, and it requires schools to adopt a consultation process for parents who wish to hold their child back a grade.
