CODE OF VIRGINIA

CERTAIN STUDENTS REQUIRED TO ATTEND SUMMER SCHOOL OR AFTER-SCHOOL SESSIONS (§
22.1-254.01)

The division superintendent may seek immediate compliance with the compulsory
school attendance law as set forth in § 22.1-254 after a reasonable effort to
seek the student’s attendance in the summer school program or after-school
session has failed, including direct notification of the parents of such student
of the attendance requirement and failure of the parents to secure the
student’s attendance, when:

   1.  A student is required to take a special program of prevention,
   intervention, or remediation in a public summer school program or to
   participate in another form of remediation as provided in subsection C of §
   22.1-253.13:1 and in accordance with clause (ii) of subsection A of §
   22.1-254; and

   2.  The division superintendent determines that remediation of the
   student’s poor academic performance, passage of the Standards of
   Learning Assessment in grades three through eight, or promotion is related
   directly to the student’s attendance in the summer school program or
   participation in another form of remediation.
