§ 37617 Student Grouping In Schools

• •Schools can split students into groups to keep school running smoothly.
• •Brothers and sisters usually go into the same group, unless they are in special classes.
• •Parents can ask the school to put their kids in different groups if they want.

Two brothers, Jake and Tom, go to the same school. Jake is in a regular class, but Tom is in a special education class.

The school might put Jake and Tom in different groups because Tom is in a special class. But if both were in regular classes, they would likely be in the same group unless their parents asked the school to separate them.
