Any must eat places?

Calhoun County. Not sure what a GPC is but she’s been told she’s going to 6th grade. They don’t even know if she’s failed the math portion of STAAR yet, but her mom was told she didn’t do well and would probably fail but they won’t have the actual results until August. Either way she could benefit from the summer school. The issue is the remaining tutoring they say she’ll need if she’s failed the test as summer school will only be half the required hours. Can we hire an accredited tutor or teacher and knock out whatever she needs before school begins so she doesn’t miss out on her electives? Or does it have to be a district employee and done on school time? Sorry if I’ve explained it poorly.
To be honest with you, the school district probably doesn’t have a set policy on whether it can be completed by an accredited teacher/tutor. Rules on STAAR are constantly changing and districts can’t keep up. I’ve never had a parent offer the solution of independent tutoring—I know in my school we would likely accept it as long as it was documented and with a certified teacher.
Usually students in 6th have 2 electives. If she fails the math, they would pull 1 elective for the remediation program (which honestly is not that beneficial). So she should have 1 elective left for band, regardless of what they decide on accepting outside tutoring. This is if worst case they insist she has to take in-school remediation.
My suggestion is drafting a response stating she will receive ___hours tutoring from (accredited tutor) to meet state requirements prior to the 23-24 school year. Thus, (student) will retain her electives. Request response from the counselor for approval. We usually have discretion (sometimes with principal input) about what is acceptable.
Hope this helps!- 1

Really looking forward to this movie. I am totally hooked on this author—Anxious People is probably my favorite novel thus far.

I’ll address all of that when I have time. Family shot right now. That’s a lot to digest and respond to.
Again, tell me all of the stupid laws you will advocate to do away with.
I appreciate your response.
I have a limited knowledge of guns personally, but I’ll step up with some ideas. I think gun aficionados are wary of a national gun registry which has been proposed by some as a means of regulation. I feel we could let that go if both sides were earnestly trying to solve this problem. In addition the regulations around suppressors could be reduced perhaps. Of course, I have no idea which issues are most important—but it’s evident we need to do something. Having rational, good faith discussions is a first step. -
Handy dandy cliff notes!

So he’s changed his thoughts on it again? This is my surprised face. I can get down with that. I can’t, however, give him even an incremental amount of trust, because this is the 4th iteration of his views on the 2nd in the last 3 years?
But you can trust Abbott who has done…nothing?!
