We are making annual reports on mandatory award holders only (unless
otherwise requested by an individual LEA), and we will use the form.
This may stir things up a bit, but I am a little puzzled by the reaction to
the form. We advise LEAs of any students granted permission to repeat a
semester or a year, and most respond by asking precisely the questions which
appear on the form. As far as we are concerned, therefore, it is almost
business as usual, except that we now have to fill in a form instead of
writing a letter.
Repeat periods of study are for our students a concession and not a right
and are not dealt with by Boards of Examiners. My office handles both
concessions and LEA liaison, and we may, in the concession papers, have all
the information we need in order to answer the LEA's questions about the
student's performance. If not, we refer the matter to the student's
academic department for comment, so that the replies which we send to the
LEA are the replies of academics, and not of administrators.
