The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6789, aims to amend title 10 of the general statutes by prohibiting local and regional boards of education from implementing grading policies that do not include a student's actual academic performance on their report card. This legislative change is intended to eliminate the use of minimum 50 policies in student grading, which can undermine the accurate assessment of students' academic achievements.
The bill emphasizes the importance of reflecting true academic performance in grading practices, ensuring that students are evaluated fairly based on their actual work and understanding of the material. By mandating the inclusion of genuine academic performance in report cards, the bill seeks to promote accountability and transparency in educational assessments.
