REPORTS a. Media Report – Ms. Allen Ms. Allen said the District had good media coverage during June and July. She said there were nineteen print articles and two television stories. She said the stories covered student and staff accomplishments in academics, athletics and exemplary work performance. She said another story covered the 2015 Graduation Ceremony and another covered the retirement of Ms. Vagner. She said statewide media coverage was dominated by the state’s broadband contract including the rising cost of legal fees, money owed, lack of federal reimbursement and further litigation. She said another story spoke to a study that was conducted regarding School Districts that had gone to a four day work week and discovered that the shorter schedule did not save money. She said other articles compared the differences between the ACT and the SAT. She said another story covered some of the controversial Board Elections that took place across the state. She said there were still quite a few Districts that were struggling to reach an Agreement with teachers. She said the other major story covered by the media was in regards to the changes to the No Child Left Behind Waiver. She publically thanked Mr. Facer for his contributions to the Board. b. Volunteer for Standing Committees for 2015-16 Chair Gebhardt proposed that the Board table the topic of volunteering for Standing Committees until the August Regular Board Meeting.

CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION AND SCHOOL SAFETY – Information – Mr. Orr, Ms. Craney, Ms. Harwood, Mr. Hobbs a. Student Discipline and SRO Data Summary for 2014-15 – Mr. Hobbs Mr. Hobbs said the District had a great working relationship with the Pocatello Police Department and SROs. He said Sergeant Daniels would report on the department’s statistical data. Sgt. Daniels said the SROs issued about 100 fewer citations this year compared to the previous year. He said the number of incidents dropped at every school and some schools saw significant improvement. He said he believed the addition of another SRO contributed to the improvement. He said Officer Nielsen had done a great job with the DARE program and provided good coverage for the schools. He said the SROs wrote a lot of diversion tickets this year which allowed a citation to be dismissed if a student had no other infractions all year. He said it was a good school year relative to discipline. He said the Police Department scheduled a meeting with Dr. Howell to continue the good working relationship. Ms. Gebhardt said she noticed that having SROs in the schools contributed to positive relationships between students and local law enforcement. She said it was good for students to create healthy relationships with law enforcement officers. Ms. Cranor said she appreciated the SROs contribution to student success. Sgt. Daniels said it was a very good group of SROs. Mr. Hobbs said the patrol officers frequently stopped into the elementary schools. He said the positive interaction was helping children. Sgt. Daniels said it was good for the patrol officers to see what the SROs were doing in the schools. Mr. Hobbs said included in the packet was the summary of the District’s elementary and secondary Student Discipline data for the 2014-15 school year and the SRO statistical data. He said out of the eighteen elementary Hearings, seventeen were only reports and no action was taken. He said the administration had been diligent with its reporting to the Board. He said there were more Expulsion Hearings this year but quite a few were reports with no action taken. He said seven students were expelled this year compared to three the year before. He said historically the number of expulsions averaged around twelve, so the District was still making progress. He said four students would need to come before the Board for a Reinstatement Hearing prior to the 2015-16 school year. He said the remaining students were placed in YDC or other programs. He said the District was holding the line with high expectations and it was contributing to the successful education of children. He said Susan Whitehead spent four hours per week working with students that had been assigned to YDC. He said she also worked with students over the summer. He said most of the students would not have graduated without the additional help. He said the District’s “at risk” student graduation rate had increased by more than 3% this year, which was great, but more importantly the future of those students had improved. Ms. Cranor said it was always a difficult decision to expel a student. Ms. Gebhardt said she hoped students used it as an opportunity to learn and to focus on the importance of gaining an education. Mr. Hobbs said the most important thing was that the District never gave up on those students and several of the graduates this year were students that had been to many Discipline Hearings. He said the administration was grateful to the Board for providing students with a second chance.

Page 4 of 11 b. Restorative Practices for Status Offenders Grant – Mr. Hobbs Mr. Hobbs said the District applied for a grant from the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections to implement the Restorative Practices for Status Offenders’ project. He said the grant was awarded to the District for the 2015-16 school year in the amount of $11,050. He said the grant was funded by Millennial Funds through the Juvenile Justice Program. He said 122 staff members had been trained in Restorative Practices. He said this year the administration would continue to promote the consistent use of Restorative Practices with K-12 Administrators. He said all of the administrators had been trained but regular use would be an emphasis during monthly K-12 Meetings. He said teachers and administrators continued to share positive stories about how Restorative Practices was contributing to safe, supportive and respectful environments in the school and classrooms. He said it was also helping teachers communicate with students in a more healthy and productive way. He said the New Horizon Center staff was having great success with Restorative Practices. He said the overall goal was to reduce the number of serious events at each of the schools. He said the number of serious events logged into Infinite Campus was reduced by 9% this year. Ms. Gebhardt said she remembered a survey of students from when she first started on the Board and a majority of students said they did not feel safe at school. She said it would be good to see the impact Restorative Practices was having creating a safe and positive culture. c. Annual Safety Committee Update – Mr. Hobbs Mr. Hobbs said the focus of the Safety Committee over the last year included the Drive Only Campaign, Response to an intruder/Lockdown training and 100% Drill Completion. He said the areas that would be addressed by the Committee in the fall included School Emergency Response Plans (SERP), installation of safety locks on classroom doors and formalizing the safety training protocols for Food Service and Transportation. He said Sgt. Daniels and Ms. Jensen attended Safety Training in Phoenix, AZ last year and was instrumental in directing the focus of the Safety Committee for the 2015-16 school year. He said the areas that still needed improvement included the school and District reunification plans that would be implemented after a major event or disaster. He said the District would also move towards using plain English during drills. He said the secretive language was confusing for staff and did nothing to dissuade an intruder. He said the Safety Committee would hold training for staff in the fall. He said administrators would attend Pediatric Response Training and would work on finalizing their emergency and reunification plans. He said it was always better to be prepared. Ms. Cranor said there was a presentation from law enforcement during the ISBA Convention and the officer brought up several issues that she had not heard discussed in the District. She asked if the administration and SROs collaborated with police departments throughout the state. Sgt. Daniels said currently there was no organized collaboration but the Police Department did have a group of SROs in the region that shared ideas and attended national trainings. He said the department was willing to expand its collaboration with other departments across the state. Ms. Cranor said the officer that gave the presentation was an SRO for the Boise School District. She said she thought it would be a great if SROs in every District collaborated. Mr. Hobbs said the other projects of the Safety Committee included upgrading the door locks in the schools that would allow teachers to lock their doors during a lockdown without having to use a key. He said it was a magnetic strip that simply had to be pulled away in order for the door to lock quickly. He said the Drive Only Campaign was implemented to encourage students and staff to not use their cell phones while driving. He said he was also happy to report that the District had completed 100% of drills including monthly fire drills, two code red, two code blue, one bomb threat and one offsite evacuation drill throughout the year. He said it was the first year they every school completed 100% of the required drills. He said the District formalized the safety training for maintenance staff last year and would continue that work with the food service and transportation departments this year. He said safety training and protocols were currently in place, but the process needed to be formalized and documented. d. Final Report on Unit Development – Mr. Orr Mr. Orr said the District concluded its Unit Development and refinement work on June 19, 2015. He said one teacher per team came in on June 22, 2015 to make final revisions and to review the documents one last time. He said he was proud of the great work teachers were doing to ensure units were aligned to the state standards. He said the Instructional Technology Specialists would save the units and training in Moodle and would provide training for teachers in the fall. He said the units would also be posted on the District’s website to provide access for parents and patrons. He said the first professional development day would be devoted to the Unit Rollout. He said a PowerPoint was prepared for the rollout that highlighted the changes that were made over the summer. He said the Unit Developers would take the lead on the training. e. Any Other Curriculum/PLCs/Beliefs Update – Mr. Orr Mr. Orr had no further Curriculum updates at the time of the meeting. f. Head Start Program Update – Ms. Craney Mr. Orr said he would cover Ms. Craney’s reports. He said included in the packet was the official grant award notification from the Head Start Region X Office detailing the approval and grant award amount for the 2015-16 school year. He said $1.27 million was allocated for the 2015-16 school year.

Page 5 of 11 g. Additional PCCS Charter Revisions – Ms. Craney Mr. Orr said representatives from the Pocatello Community Charter School (PCCS) reviewed the charter revisions that were submitted to the SDE last month. He said Mr. Mendive would highlight further changes and the Board would be asked to approve the Charter Revisions under Old Business and direct submission to State Charter Commission. Mr. Mendive said the Board received a copy of the revisions which were mostly technical changes. He said one of the major revisions included updating the Special Services section. He said the RtI Model was outlined in greater detail and changes were made to the criteria for identifying students that needed an IEP. He said the charter school teachers were generally expected to write their own curriculum. He said positive behavior supports were formalized. He said the Charter would continue with the PBIS philosophy. He said other revisions included broadening the language in the Performance Certificate to reword “ISAT 2.0” to “state test” to avoid having to come for Board approval if the state changed its test. He said the Star Rating language was left in place. He said the Charter’s bullying and harassment policy was aligned to the state statute. He said the previous policy language was limited. He said the enrollment section had been updated to create a range of acceptable class sizes per grade rather than a specific number, as class size was determined on the available budget. He said it was still the goal of the Charter to keep class sizes small if it was manageable within the budget. He said specific names of business partners were removed from the Charter and the language was broadened to say the Charter would work with local vendors. He said the Charter included a new appendix called “HOWL Goals.” He said HOWL stood for Habits of Working and Learning and were the behavior expectations for students, staff and community. He said it was a commonly used acronym in the expeditionary learning curriculum. He said PCCS had a meeting scheduled with Ms. Craney for September 1, 2015 to talk about priorities and the timeline for Performance Audits. He said the Charter had a parent, student and staff handbook. He said the Charter Board still planned to revise the thoroughness standards. He said the Charter had been completely overhauled. h. Capella University Agreement and Administrative Intern Request – Ms. Craney Mr. Orr said included in the packet was an Agreement with Capella University to place interns in the District. He said also included was a request to place an administrative intern for the 2015-16 school year. He said the request had been reviewed by the administration and was in order. He said the Board would be asked to approve the request under the Consent Agenda. i. Any Other Elementary Education/PLCs/Beliefs Update – Ms. Craney Mr. Orr had no further Elementary Education updates at the time of the meeting. j. PLATO Credit Recovery Report – Year End – Ms. Harwood Ms. Harwood said originally the PLATO Report was completed at the end of each trimester but the administration realized the data was too difficult to track on a trimester timeline because credit recovery and PLATO Courses were ongoing throughout the school year. She said included in the packet was the year-end report detailing the PLATO Recovery courses taken and the number of credits earned by school and by subject. She said the comprehensive high school reports were more accurate than the New Horizon Center data due to the varying ways the schools used the PLATO Program. She said the way the numbers were reported made it look like there were 500 students taking PLATO courses, but it was actually showing the number of credits earned. She said so far 356 credits had been earned and other students were still in the process. She said some students were using other programs for credit recovery and that information could be added to future reports. She said the report did show that the District was using PLATO effectively but was not necessarily just for credit recovery. She said it could also be used for “content” recovery. Ms. Cranor said she agreed the report justified the use of PLATO. Mr. Vitale asked how successful students were in using the program for content recovery. Ms. Harwood said students worked directly with a PASS room teacher and most were very successful. She said some teachers found that it was not as effective for math as it was for other content areas. She said teachers had gotten better at identifying which students would be most successful using the program. She said some students needed individualized instruction. k. Summer School Update – Ms. Harwood Ms. Harwood said included in the packet was a spreadsheet detailing the summer school courses offered and the number of students enrolled. She said there were fewer students enrolled in Session Two. She said the report detailed the number of students and the total credits earned. She said summer school students did very well in algebra 1a and were not quite as successful in algebra 1c. She said the English success rate was also a little worrisome. She said she scheduled a meeting with Dr. Kessler to talk about the plan for summer school next year. She said there was a very high student to teacher ratio this year. She said it was very exciting to see that sixteen students graduated from summer school. She said the staff was very dedicated and did whatever it takes to help students graduate. l. Policy 8110 – Student Placement, Retention, Credits, Promotion and Acceleration – 1st Reading – Ms. Harwood Ms. Harwood said included in the packet was Policy 8110 – Student Placement, Retention, Credits, Promotion and Acceleration. She said the middle school promotion requirements were revised. She said middle school students were added to the DAPC section because the DAPC also met with middle school students. Ms. Cranor said the DAPC

Page 6 of 11

paragraph was a little confusing and asked if it could be reworded. Ms. Harwood said it could. She said the new IDAPA Rules were added under the section “Credit Awarded.” She said the change dealt with high school credits that were earned during middle school. She said currently, the section on promotion only required a student to pass two out of three trimesters and the administration found that students were not trying to pass in the third trimester if they had already passed the first two trimesters which was setting those students up for failure. She said the language had been revised to require students to pass all three trimesters. She said it may create a burden for the middle schools but was in the best interest of the students. She said it sent a message to students and their families the importance of passing courses. She said she was surprised to learn that science was the area that most middle school students struggled with. She said most new middle school students were unable to read science content. She said the new requirements may increase the number of students attending summer school but the instruction would be more purposeful and systematic. She said the administration had discussed the possibility of creating a separate session for middle school students. Ms. Cranor said she thought it was a good idea but worried about middle school students not being able to promote to high school. Ms. Harwood said the administration planned to place any student that was not on track to promote to the next grade level at the New Horizon Center for the remainder of the year. She said currently students were only placed at New Horizon Center for credit recovery and then were sent back to their home school which meant students were missing out on high school credits in the meantime. She said Mr. Wallace was happy to place them at New Horizon Center for the whole year. She said it put students in a better position to be promoted to a comprehensive high school. She said interventions were working very well at the elementary level and the District needed a better process and consistency with middle school intervention. She said it could be difficult for a middle school teacher to realize that some students were struggling with simple and fictional texts and reading scientific texts could be nearly impossible. Ms. Gebhardt said it felt like the District was going through the whole TIA process all over again. Ms. Harwood said it was due to the increased rigor and expectations. She said the District had never required this level of reading and writing before. She said it was a learning progression. She said the Board would be asked to hear the policy on first reading under New Business. m. Athletic Training Intern Requests – Ms. Harwood Ms. Harwood said included in the packet was a request from ISU to place two athletic training interns at Highland High School under the supervision of Caroline Faure during the fall and winter trimesters of the 2015-16 school year. She said the request had been reviewed by the administration and was in order. She said the Board would be asked to approve the request under the Consent Agenda. Ms. Gebhardt asked how the District tracked the amount of practice time for athletic activities. Ms. Harwood said the Athletic Directors were responsible to ensure that the IHSAA rules for practice time were followed. She said she would follow up with the ADs on any concerns. n. Any Other Secondary Education/PLCs/Beliefs Update – Ms. Harwood Ms. Harwood had no further Secondary Education updates at the time of the meeting.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS (BUDGET, MAINTENANCE, TRANSPORTATION, FOOD SERVICE) – Information – Mr. Reed a. Idaho General Fund Update Mr. Reed said the Idaho General Fund Revenue Report for July was included in the addendum. He said it appeared as if the economy was rebounding and he hoped the trend continued. b. Food Service Summer Meal Program Update Mr. Reed said included in the addendum was the current Food Service Summer Meal Program Report with information as of July 17, 2015. He said the Summer Meal Program always started out with great participation and slowly declined throughout the summer depending on the weather. He said over 60,000 meals had been served in six weeks and there were five weeks left. He said the Summer Meal Program recently underwent a state review and the SDE penalized the District’s reimbursement for serving a particular menu item. He said the District filed an appeal because the menu item had always been reimbursable in the past and no changes were communicated to the District. He said there were numerous Districts across the state and in surrounding states that had not been penalized for serving the same item. He said he was hopeful that the SDE would reverse its decision. Ms. Gebhardt asked if it affected the District’s General Fund or just the Food Service fund. Mr. Reed said it only affected the Food Service budget but was still a significant loss. He said the denial was heavy-handed and he hoped the SDE would be objective in its review of the appeal. Ms. Gebhardt asked if the Food Service program would be stuck with a product that it couldn’t use. Mr. Reed said the menu item could still be served as long as another item was added in order to meet the two meat/meat alternative minimum requirement, but the SDE was not reimbursing the Food Service program for that item. c. Summer Projects Updates Mr. Reed said he spent most of the day visiting schools to monitor the status of summer projects. He said the Highland High School renovation was the biggest project and the contractor would be hard pressed to finish the project before

the start of school. He said the school still needed to be cleaned after the project was complete. He said the bleachers were scheduled to be installed on August 1st. He said the project at the Lincoln Center was coming together well and the new lighting and ceilings were installed. He said there had been some significant damage to the new sod that was put in at Tyhee Elementary, but with the assistance of the Pocatello Police Department, the District was able to identify the individuals that caused the damage and was seeking restitution. He said the damage amounted to $7,000. Dr. Howell asked if any preventative measures had been put into place. Mr. Reed said yes, the District installed chains that restricted vehicle access to the field. He said the contractor was making progress to the front entry way at the District Office. He said the technology staff was working hard to complete the installation of digital phones in every building. He said after this year the District would no longer have any analog phones. d. Bus Routes for 2015-16 Mr. Reed said included in the packet were the proposed bus routes and maps for the 2015-16 school year. He said there were over 1,200 bus stops one way and bus drivers collectively drove over 900,000 miles per year. He said the District’s Transportation Department was one of the most efficient departments in the state. He said the department still needed about ten bus drivers to start the school year. He said the Board would be asked to set the bus routes for the 2015-16 school year and authorize the administration to make any adjustments throughout the school year under New Business. e. Proposed Building and Subdivisions (New Construction) Mr. Reed said the number of construction projects in the community had increased recently, but he did not anticipate any of the projects having a significant impact on the District’s enrollment numbers. f.

He said Infinite Campus was on target for online registration for the 2015-16 school year. He said the new process should ensure that students were ready to go on day one. b. Technology Department Summer Work Update Mr. Smart said the Technology Department was still in the process of installing and updating computers in all of the schools. He said the classroom audio and Promethean Board installation projects had been contracted out this year. c.

Michael Mendive, Administrator Pocatello Community Charter School 995 S. Arthur Street Pocatello, Idaho 83204

Re: Approval of LEA Status

Dear Mr. Mendive,

The State Department of Idaho is in receipt of the PCCS board’s request for LEA status and the Pocatello School District approval of the request, based on the requirements of Section 33- 5203(7), Idaho Code. We are pleased to inform you that the PCCS request has been approved effective July 1, 2015.

With the change in status, PCCS will be responsible for the implementation, reporting, monitoring, and financial management of all federal programs. It is important that you review the policies, procedures, and staffing assignments to reflect the additional requirements related to these programs.

The change in LEA status does not impact the authorizer status with Pocatello/Chubbuck School District. They will continue to be PCCS’s authorizer until the Idaho Public Charter School Commission agrees to a transfer.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Michelle Clement Taylor School Choice Coordinator

The Board of Trustees for the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District No. 25 values school officials and parents/guardians working together for the best interests of children.

PROPER GRADE PLACEMENT Proper grade placement of each student in the District maximizes the potential for the student to learn at high levels of achievement. The decision with regard to grade level placement or retention will be made by the school’s administration after thorough review with the parent/guardian, the teacher(/s), other school officials, and with the assistance of the school student’s IEP Team when necessary. The teacher's recommendation and parent’s/guardian’s desired placement request shall be weighed heavily.

A student of legal school age who requests entry to a District No. 25 school without records or from a non-accredited school will be subject to an assessment before placement becomes permanent. The parent/guardian of such student shall be notified at the time of entry that placement is temporary until an assessment can be completed.

Assessment shall consist of informal evaluations and/or tests given by school personnel to determine the level of learning and the social placement which would be in the best interest of the student and the school. The school administration is responsible for the assessment process, notification of the parent/guardian, and final grade placement of the child in an appropriate setting.

Such decisions may be appealed first to the principal, then to the Director of Elementary or Secondary Education, then to the Superintendent, and then to the Board of Trustees.

PLACEMENT OF TRANSFER STUDENTS' PLACEMENT When placing transfer students, the initial placement recommendation of an accredited institution will be honored. However, if such placement seems inappropriate, the administration may make changes after completing an analysis of the student's needs and competencies. In cases where students enter the District No. 25 without records or from non-accredited schools, placement will

STUDENTS 8000 POLICY 8110 Page (2)

STUDENT PLACEMENT, RETENTION, CREDITS, PROMOTION, AND ACCELERATION be determined through an assessment process. Testing results transmitted to the District from qualified testing agencies at the parents/guardian’s request (and expense) will be acceptable for use in the assessment process. A local Sschool Ddistrict does not have authority to waive any State Board of Education course or credit requirement.

PLACEMENT IN REQUIRED INTERVENTION SERVICES The Pocatello/Chubbuck School District No. 25 is committed to providing interventions for students who have not mastered essential skills. As such, schools have the discretion to place students in intervention services.

DISTRICT ACADEMIC PROGRESS COMMITTEE (DAPC) A The District Academic Progress Committee (DAPC) will convene to shall be established to monitor the academic progress of secondary middle school and high school students who are lacking credits and are not on track to promote to high school, or to graduate. The purpose of the DAPC shall be to review a student’s academic DAPC may develop an Academic Contract in conjunction with the student and family of the student and may progress, consider placement at the New Horizon High School Center, or summer school where appropriate. and determine any placement at New Horizon High School for students not on track to graduate. The DAPC shall be comprised of the Director of Secondary Education, Director of Student Support Services, the high school academic assistant principal, the high school counselor, and New Horizon High School administrator or counselor.

WHOLE-GRADE/SUBJECT ACCELERATION The Pocatello/Chubbuck School District No. 25 is committed to maximizing learning for all students. This commitment includes adhering to high academic standards which will promote the maximum academic, social, emotional, and physical development of each student.

Whole-grade acceleration is possible for an appropriately selected student. Participation in acceleration is based on individually identified needs and is considered on a case-by-case basis as set forth in Procedure 8110. A student must earn a total score of at least forty-six (46) points on the Iowa Acceleration Scale (IAS) to be recommended for whole-grade acceleration. For consideration, an application for whole-grade acceleration may be initiated by the school administrator, a teacher, student, or parent/guardian.

Subject acceleration is available for an appropriately selected student. Subject acceleration for courses offered within a school will be addressed by the school administration. Subject acceleration for courses not offered within a school will be available on a case- by- case basis and is subject to approval by the Director of Elementary or Secondary Education.

CREDIT AWARDED If a student completes any required high school course with a grade of C or higher before entering grade nine, and if that course meets the same standards that are required in high school, then the student has met the high school content area requirement for such course. If the teacher holds a 6-12 certification and is meets the federal definition of highly qualified for the course being taught, the course may be transcripted. the student shall be given a grade for the successful completion of that course and such grade and the number of credit hours assigned to the course shall be transferred to the student's high school transcript. Notwithstanding this requirement, the student's parent/guardian may elect to not have the credits and grade transferred to the student's high school transcript. If the student takes a

STUDENT PLACEMENT, RETENTION, CREDITS, PROMOTION, AND ACCELERATION course through the State-sponsored Advanced Opportunities 8 in 6 program, the grade and number of credit hours will be transferred to the student’s high school transcript as directed by IDAPA. Courses taken in middle school appearing in the student's high school transcript , pursuant to this subsection, shall count for the purpose of high school graduation. The student must complete the required number of high school credits in all high school core subjects in addition to the courses completed in middle school.

CORRESPONDENCE CREDIT/VIRTUAL ONLINE CREDIT The Board of Trustees will accept credits from schools accredited by any Northwest Accreditation Commission schools member and respective member schools located only within the original states of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Credits shall also be accepted from third-party schools that are accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission through official third-party agreement with those agencies. The student’s final term shall be from the school at which the student will graduate. Schools hold the ultimate decision when determining credit acceptance toward student recognition, such as valedictorian and honors recognition.

To ensure that correspondence or virtual online credits apply toward locally established graduation requirements, each correspondence credit and/or virtual online credit should receive prior counselor approval.

Verification of successful completion of correspondence and/or virtual online credit must be provided to the school prior to graduation. Such verification is the responsibility of the student. Letter grades for correspondence and virtual online courses will be averaged in the GPA.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION/CHALLENGE TESTS The Board of Trustees will award up to a total of 12 credits to students in grades nine through twelve who have achieved course competency based on the assessment results of approved Challenge Tests. Successful completion of a Challenge Test will be determined by the student achieving a passing grade. Challenge Tests must cover mastery of the content included in a regular course in that subject. The grade received on the exam will be recorded on the student’s transcript as the course grade and will contribute to the student’s GPA. Final approval for such credit may be subject to approval by the State Board of Education.

MIDDLE SCHOOL PROMOTION To be eligible for advancement from seventh to eighth grade and from eighth grade to ninth grade, each seventh and eighth grade student must pass 15 of 18 possible credits per year including three (3) math classes, three (3) English language arts classes, and three (3) science classes 6 of 9 core classes as well as 2 out of 3 of any one subject (math, English language arts, science) as set forth in Procedure 8110.
