This bill enacts a uniform ten-point grading scale for all public schools in Louisiana, requiring each public school governing authority to adopt the following scale: A (90-100), B (80-89), C (70-79), D (60-69), and F (0-59). The bill also specifies that this grading scale does not apply to schools operated by the United States Department of Defense located on federal military installations. Additionally, the bill includes a provision that charter schools are required to adhere to this uniform grading scale as outlined in the newly enacted R.S. 17:184.

Furthermore, the bill repeals the previous requirement for the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to implement a uniform grading scale, as indicated by the deletion of R.S. 17:7(31). The new law aims to standardize grading practices across public schools in Louisiana, ensuring consistency in how student performance is evaluated.
