Advisory committee agrees to revisit grading policy; seeks targeted direction before revising
Summary
The Policy Advisory Committee agreed Sept. 22 to continue work this calendar year on the district's grading policy and asked administration to return with focused options and prior feedback.
Committee members agreed Sept. 22 to take up the district grading policy again and to try to reach consensus on limited, implementable changes by the end of the calendar year.
Administration said it previously presented a revised grading policy to the school committee; that draft was not adopted. The advisory committee discussed three paths: 1) return to the older policy and make incremental edits; 2) revise the previously proposed draft and attempt to address concerns raised at the school committee level; or 3) leave the current policy unchanged.
Administration said it would gather the prior round of feedback and bring forward suggested incremental changes or a recommended path. Committee members asked for targeted guidance on specific sections they could agree on rather than returning an entirely new comprehensive rewrite without broader buy-in. The committee did not take a formal vote; members agreed to review prepared options at the next scheduled meeting so any changes could be considered for the 2026 school year.
