School Board Seeks Input on Grading Policy At its February 2 meeting, the Orange County School Board approved revisions to School Board Policy IKC, Grading Policy, for public comment. The policy is being revised to achieve consistency in grading practices in Grades K-12. Changes include the requirements for grade calculations in Grades 2-12, changes in the retest policy, and adoption of a ten point grading scale to support consistency with other districts throughout the Commonwealth. If approved, the new policy would be effective for the 2010-2011 school year. The School Board will conduct a public comment session on the proposed revisions at its February 22 work session. Final approval is expected to occur at the March 1 School Board meeting.
