Board approves 2026-27 student handbook with edits including grade-forgiveness
Summary
After a presentation on handbook edits, the board approved the 2026-27 student handbook with changes including concurrent-credit language, an adjusted honor graduate requirement, and a grade-forgiveness provision so failed accelerated courses would not count against GPA for graduation.
Miss Hadley presented proposed edits to the student handbook, including adding concurrent-credit language that had been previously omitted, lowering the AP/pre-AP requirement for honor graduates from 10 to 8 courses, moving the honorary graduate determination to the 7th semester, and incorporating new grade-forgiveness guidance under state law. On the grade-forgiveness change she explained: "The new law says that they have a forgiveness. If they don't pass it, it does not count against them."
Director Whitmore moved to approve the 2026-27 student handbook as presented with the addendums discussed during the meeting. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
