Committee updates weighted-grading policy to reflect Connecticut's Public Act 24-47
Summary
Policy revisions were reviewed Jan. 14 to bring the district's weighted grading and GPA calculation policy into compliance with Public Act 24-47, which changes the Connecticut automatic admissions program to use unweighted GPA instead of class rank.
The Wallingford School District Policy Committee reviewed Jan. 14 revisions to the district's weighted-grading and GPA calculation policy to align with Public Act 24-47.
The presenter said the Connecticut automatic admissions program previously used class rank as a determining factor; Public Act 24-47 changes that requirement so that unweighted GPA is the determining factor. The district updated legal references and policy language to reflect that statutory change.
A committee member asked for clarification; the presenter reiterated that the automatic admissions program will use unweighted GPA instead of class rank. Committee members also discussed practicalities of reviewing long policy documents and said a separate memo highlighting changes in second-read packets was helpful for reviewers and administrators.
No formal adoption vote is recorded in the transcript; the item was presented as an update to ensure compliance with state law.
