  2.4   work, or in health care facilities.  This paragraph does not

  2.16  opportunity, the student must achieve a score of at least two on

  2.21  diagnostic analysis of the student's writing and shows that 
  2.22  educators intervened with the student, consistent with the 
  2.23  student's test results.  The district must offer the student 
  2.24  additional remediation before the May retesting date.
