Act 66 Explanation
On June 30, 2021, Governor Wolf signed into law Act 66 of 2021. Act 66 permits students who were enrolled during the 2020-21 school year to repeat their grade level, even if the student met the requirements to be promoted to the next grade level.

• Students repeating a grade level
  This will include students who were enrolled during the 20-21 SY and would now like to repeat the 2020-21 grade level, unless they graduated. 
  
  
• Students staying an additional year
  This is limited to Special Education students who were enrolled in the 2020-21 school year and turned 21 during 2020-21 and Special Education students who turned 21 between the end of the 2020-21 school year to and the beginning of the 2021-22 school year, unless IEP goals and objectives for graduation have been met. 

Act 66 Deadline
If interested, families must complete and submit the Act 66 of 2021 Student Grade Level Retainment Notification Form to their child’s school by Thursday, July 15, 2021. Act 66 Forms submitted after the deadline (which was established by the Pennsylvania Department of Education), will be reviewed by Reading School District administrators on a case-by-case basis.
