The Kentucky Department of Education addressed new guidance documents released Monday.

The guidance says superintendents and principals may assign a student to the class or grade to which they’re best suited if a much higher number of students end up with failing grades at the end of the school year as a result of struggles with virtual learning.

The new guidance also says local school boards may award credit toward high school graduation for satisfactory demonstration of learning.
