Board adopts grading policies D.3.29 and D.3.30 after discussion of Schoology limits
Summary
After members discussed technical limits in Schoology that affect display of numerical grades, the Raleigh County Board adopted policies D.3.29 and D.3.30 as presented in a unanimous vote.
Board members discussed a recent public email about numeric grading and whether the district is able to display numerical grades in Schoology. The superintendent explained the policy permits numeric grades but cited system limitations with Schoology as the operational obstacle.
Superintendent Dr. Starcher recommended approval of policies D.3.29 and D.3.30 "as presented." A motion was made and seconded, and the board voted 5–0 to adopt the two policies. Board members encouraged staff to ensure that communication with parents conveys how numeric grades correspond to letter grades and to examine technical solutions for grade display.
The policy adoption was routine at this meeting; no implementation timeline was announced during the vote.
