Socorro Independent School District - New
Grading Policy – Information for Parents and Students


 
New Grading
Policy – Information for Parents and Students									
On October 20, 2009,
the Socorro ISD Board of Trustees approved revisions to local policy EIA,
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT GRADING/PROGRESS REPORTS TO PARENTS, effective January 4,
2010.  These revisions are based upon Senate Bill 2033 which now requires all
school districts to adopt a grading policy, including provisions for the
assignment of grades on class assignments and examinations.  The new law
provides that a district grading policy must require a classroom teacher to
assign a grade that reflects the student’s relative mastery of the assignment;
may not require a classroom teacher to assign a minimum grade for an assignment
without regard to the student’s quality of work; and may allow a student a
reasonable opportunity to make up or redo a class assignment or examination for
which the student received a failing grade.  In accordance with Senate Bill
2033, the District has deleted its provision requiring a 50 to be recorded in
the cumulative record when the student’s average is less than a 50.  This
revised policy will become effective on January 4, 2010.  For more information,
contact Vicki Icard, Director of Student Services 937-0290.
