The Grading for Equity Workgroup formed during the 2021-22 school year has been working on piloting and developing a long term plan to shift AUSD to equitable grading practices. As part of this work, AUSD's grading policies would need to be realigned.
- BP/AR 5121 Grades/Evaluation of Student Achievement
Tonight, staff seek input and feedback from the community and members of the subcommittee on moving forward with the revision of BP/AR 5121 as submitted.
