Board reviews grading regulation aligned with Nevada code after public concern about promotion standards
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Genoveva Lopez-Angelo reviewed updates to the district grading regulation and its alignment with the Nevada Administrative Code; a public commenter had raised concerns that current practice allows promotion despite failing grades.
Assistant Superintendent Genoveva Lopez-Angelo presented an overview of the district's grading regulation, noting that it follows the Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) with a uniform grading scale, weighted grades for advanced courses, and state-compliant GPA computation and rounding rules. Lopez-Angelo said the district updated the regulation in February 2025 to align with NAC-prescribed weights.
During public comment, Mr. Hodge raised concerns that the current grading system permits student promotion even when students receive failing grades and asked the board to form a committee to monitor staff performance. Trustees discussed the policy differences and next steps; no policy change or formal motion on promotion standards occurred at the meeting. The board requested further review and added related topics (Test Security Manual review, SRO update, TAC status and mental-health policy overview) to future agendas.
