Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This legislation requires a principal or superintendent to approve a request from a parent or legal guardian of a student who has been affected by COVID-19 to not graduate the student or not promote the student to the next grade level if the student's school can accommodate adding the student to the affected grade level.  Assuming that principals and superintendents will use cost as one of the criteria in determining a school's ability to accommodate such requests, there should be no significant costs to schools from this bill.
