Rank Advancement
When a student is ready for a rank advancement, he/she will be notified and an evaluation meeting set up. If the student is a minor, a parent must come to the meeting with the student. If the student's progress is satisfactory, then a date will be set for their advancement or testing. If their progress is unsatisfactory, we will need to discuss ways to help them improve in the areas needed before a decision on rank advancement will be made.
