Press release from Colonial School District:

2021-07-02

Recently the state passed legislation (formerly Senate Bill 664, now Act 66 of 2021) allowing families to request that their child be retained for a year due to learning gaps caused by the pandemic. Parents/guardians of all students may elect to have their child(ren) repeat the grade level they were in last year. Parents/guardians of students with disabilities who either turned 21 during the 2020-21 school year or will turn 21 this summer may also request an additional year. The legislation also allows students who are 18 to request retention.

To submit a request, parents/guardians will be asked to complete a form that is being created by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Click here to download the form. Once completed, the form must be submitted to the building principal of the school your child attended in 2020-21 by 3:30 p.m. on July 15, 2021. Thank you.
