If the teacher has a concern about a student’s performance in the AP class:

• The GLC will follow up with the student regarding communication from the teacher and offer additional resources to assist the student.
• Both the teacher and the GLC will monitor the student for a reasonable amount of time (two or more weeks)
• If improvement is not made, the teacher will initiate communication to request a parent meeting and CC the GLC
• The goal of the meeting will be to identify additional support systems for the student, and to discuss placement
