2020-2021 Middle School Math Placement Teacher Waiver
2020-2021 Middle School Math Placement Teacher Waiver
By submitting this waiver, I am requesting that one of my current students be placed in a math class other than his/her
recommended placement for the 2020-2021 school year. Before making this request, I thoughtfully considered and
discussed his/her test scores, grades, classroom performance, work habits, motivation, individual learning style, and
academic needs as they pertain to math class.

I have reviewed the following items with the parent(s)/guardian(s) of this student:
Requests for higher placement (without skipping content) will be reviewed by the school-based review
team. The parent/guardian has the right to participate in this process.
When the request is approved, the student should be prepared to stay in their new placement for the full
school year. A class change later in the school year may require additional changes to the class schedule.
Students are not permitted to transfer out of NC Math 1 after the 20th day in a year-long class due to state
policy.
Requests for waivers for current fifth graders (rising sixth graders) are to be initially reviewed and signed by
the elementary school principal. This initial recommendation will then be sent to the middle school principal
for final placement.
According to HB986, students who score a Level 5 on the EOG must be placed in an advanced
math course. A parent or guardian will need to provide written consent for the student to be
excluded or removed from that course.
