Committee forwards Act 85 policy updates and class-rank tie-breaker to full board
Summary
Committee members voted to send a packet of policy updates tied to state Act 85 training requirements and a new three-step class-rank tie-breaker (ACP composite, college-credit courses completed, attendance) to the full board for consideration.
The committee reviewed a set of policy updates connected to state Act 85 training obligations and voted to move those policies to the full board for final action. The chair said the Act 85 updates touch volunteer and coach training and will require broader training similar to existing mandatory reporting expectations.
Lee (committee member) explained the proposed class-rank tie-breaker sequence: "The 1st tie breaker will be the ACP composite. The 2nd tie breaker will be the greatest number of successfully completed college credit eligible courses, examples, AP, early college credit, Start College Now, Rising Phoenix, or other dual credit options with each core course counted equally. And the 3rd tie breaker will be the highest attendance rate defined by the lowest rate of unexcused absences from 9th through 11th grade." The committee voted to forward the policy package to the full board; the committee record does not include a roll-call tally.
