They are just going to have to play catch-up in the fall.
Unless JBE cancels the fall semester as well.

I think that the schools can look at each individual student's position at the time of the pandemic and make decisions based on there standing at that time
Yes, we conduct SBLC meeting to determine pass/failure for failing kids each year.
Then, we pass 99% of them
The state has made it clear that all will pass this year. We simply don’t have the space to keep a large amount of kids back. We would have to hire a Ton of new teachers Posted on 4/15/20 at 8:30 am to SlowFlowPro

I remember I learned a graduate enough of information in the last 4 months of school myself. Without those 4 months I’d have been fricked for life.

Lot of non-parents/morons in this thread.
I have 2 kids in elementary school. Their last day of school was the last day of the 3rd 9 weeks, so they are missing 1/4 of the year. It may not be a big deal to miss 9 weeks in high school, but moving from 2nd to 3rd grade without finishing the academic year is a bigger deal than most in here think. Add in the gifted courses and the curriculum can be pretty challenging.
We haven't heard anything from the school yet about how tough they will be on grades next year for concepts they should have learned but missed due to school closures.

many students have lost half a school year entirely. we aren't doing exit/graduation exams
So they lost 4 weeks of essential instruction

I do not know how LA works.
But in Georgia we had to take certain classes to actually graduate. I get suspending tye exit exams, we had a writing one you had to pass to graduate.
But I'd guess it's on colleges to slack their requirements. Again, some of these kids won't have enough credit hours to go to a 4 year college. So a school like LSU will just have to look the other way this once.
Wonder if lawsuites start flying over this.

2.5 months is not "a couple weeks"
so half was a bit much, but it's a quarter. that's a significant amount of schooling lost

Nope

i'm curious about this as well, on a larger scale
imagine if you were banking on that last ACT/SAT test to get over the hump

i took calculus my senior year. i couldn't imagine missing 25% of the class and feeling like i was prepared for calc 2 based on schooling

Easter is not counted in that, not for my parish at least since those are non-instructional days

How do you figure mid march to may as half a school year?

I'd imagine the impact will be harder on elementary school kids than it will high school and senior year kids.
