Wellington ISD sets 60% passing standard for UIL 'Level One' courses
Summary
The Wellington ISD board set a 60% passing standard for UIL eligibility in designated Level One classes (a list of advanced and Pre‑AP courses), approving the measure unanimously.
The Wellington Independent School District board unanimously approved a 60 percent passing standard for student eligibility to participate in University Interscholastic League (UIL) activities for designated Level One courses.
The motion, brought by Alison Strickland and seconded by Gene Pena, adopted a specified list of Level One classes recommended by school principals, including advanced math in grades 6–8, Algebra I for eighth grade, AP Economics, Dual Credit courses, Physics, Pre‑AP Algebra I and II, Pre‑AP Biology and Chemistry, Pre‑AP English I and II, Pre‑AP Geometry, Pre‑Calculus and Spanish 3. The board recorded the action as unanimous.
District staff explained the change as an eligibility threshold meant to align UIL participation standards with course rigor. The principals who recommended the list—Shannon Fisher (junior high principal) and Jermaine Cantu (high school principal)—were cited in the motion as the sources of the recommendation.
