2016 Summer Reading Camp (SRC) Report: Section 59-155-160 of the Read to Succeed legislation states:
Beginning with the 2017- 2018 School Year, a student must be retained in the third grade if the student fails to demonstrate reading proficiency at the end of the third grade as indicated by scoring at the lowest achievement level on the state summative reading assessment that equates to Not Met 1 on the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS). A student may be exempt for good cause from the mandatory retention but shall continue to receive instructional support and services and reading intervention appropriate for their age and reading level.
One of the good cause exemptions referenced in the excerpt from the legislation is “successful completion of summer reading camp.”
