The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6789, aims to amend title 10 of the general statutes to establish stricter guidelines for student grading policies. Specifically, it prohibits local and regional boards of education from implementing any grading policy that does not mandate the inclusion of a student's actual academic performance on their report card. This change is intended to eliminate practices such as minimum 50 policies, which can distort the true evaluation of a student's academic abilities.
The bill reflects a commitment to ensuring that student grades accurately represent their performance, thereby promoting fairness and accountability in educational assessments. By enforcing this requirement, the legislation seeks to enhance the integrity of grading systems across educational institutions.
