Shannon: If a student is excessively absent due to a disability (diabetes) and, as a result, the student has made little to no academic growth over a year-and-a-half, could she be made to repeat the grade? Reference to NY laws and resources preferred, but any help is appreciated.
Your state parent training & information centers would be a good source of help for you. http://www.parentcenterhub.org/find-your-center
