The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education meets tonight (Thursday) at 7 at the Chapel Hill Town Hall on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.
The board will consider in a work session a proposed change to student grading that would emphasize consistency and add a floor of 61 to the numeric grading scale. Opponents of the proposed policy change argue that a minimum grade of 61 inflates grades and lowers standards.
Other items on the agenda include:
• Policy changes regarding the special education program/rights of students with disabilities;
• Policy changes regarding disciplinary action for exceptional children/students with disabilities;
• Meal price increases;
• Policy changes regarding discrimination, harassment and bullying;
• Graduation requirements; and
• Site selection for the district’s 11th elementary school.
