Board narrows extra‑weight policy for transferred honors/dual‑credit/AP courses
Summary
Chief Academic Officer Jennifer Eberly presented and the board approved a revision to Policy EIC (LOCAL)-X: students transferring between district high schools will receive extra grade weight for honors, dual‑credit or AP coursework only if the receiving school offered an equivalent course when the credit was earned.
Chief Academic Officer Jennifer Eberly requested board approval of revisions to Policy EIC (LOCAL)-X, intended to clarify grade weighting for credits earned at another district high school. The revision specifies that students transferring into a Bastrop ISD high school with credit for honors, dual‑credit or AP courses will receive extra weight only if the receiving high school offered an equivalent honors, dual‑credit or AP course at the time the student earned the credit.
Trustee Billy Moore moved and Trustee Matthew Mix seconded the revision; the motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: The change affects how transfer students' transcripts are weighted for class ranking and grade‑point calculations; it places the onus on equivalency with the receiving school's course offerings at the time the credit was earned.
