A.     “NC” for a grade

1.       Who is responsible?

2.     Is this determined by the attendance committee?—After discussion, it was decided that the NC grade is determined by the attendance committee.  The committee will alert the teacher and the teacher places the grade.  Any questions will be evaluated by the committee.   Amy will clarify this with the HS staff.

B.      Mid-quarter grades and eligibility—It was determined that the policy will be left as it is. 

V.                 New Business

A.     TSIS System-to replace JMC—This system seems to be a better system/more flexible, etc.  Shelly will go to training with scheduling training to follow.  All staff will be trained eventually.

B.      Standardized Grading System for High School—After a lengthy discussion, a committee was formed to come up with a framework for the possible change.  Committee members at this time are:  Dave, Ross, Alan and Mr. Suss.  They are hoping to add a Math and LA person.  The advantages would be a more consistent grading system for everyone involved.

C.      Water fountains—It was reported that the water fountain by the choir room is no longer producing cold water.  Mr. Suss will take care of this issue.

 

Next meeting:  Wednesday, April 2, 2008
