AN ACT CONCERNING STUDENT GRADING POLICIES.
HB 6789 prohibits local and regional school boards from implementing grading policies that do not include a student's actual academic performance on report cards. It specifically targets practices like "minimum 50 policies" (where students automatically receive a 50% grade regardless of work), requiring schools to show genuine academic work. The bill directly affects school districts and their grading systems, mandating that report cards reflect real student achievement rather than guaranteed minimum scores. This change aims to ensure grades accurately represent student effort and learning.
