Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
The purpose of this rule is to establish minimal requirements
				  for those school districts and charter schools that seek to permit changes to a
				  student's final course grades, and to require that school districts and charter
				  schools adopt written policies for any change to a student's grade. While a
				  change in a final course grade should be the exception and not the rule once a
				  classroom teacher has issued a final course grade, the enactment of written
				  policies coupled with consistent application of those policies should result in
				  the changing of grades only when warranted and should lead to increased public
				  confidence in the process.
