 COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The College Station ISD Board of Trustees met Tuesday, September 21.  The following discussions and actions are of note.

 MEETING

 Committee chartered to explore academic achievement and class rank:  The board approved the charter of an ad hoc committee to study and determine whether any changes need to be recommended to board policy EIC(local), which deals with academic achievement and class rank.

 A previous committee met in the fall of 2020 and recommended changes to policy EIC(local) in regards to advanced courses.  This committee also recommended reviewing the other aspects of the policy, including GPS calculation, the weighted grading system, and graduation honors. 

 In light of the strategic planning process, CSISD administration put any further evaluation of Policy EIC(local) on hold to ensure any recommendations regarding this policy would align with the strategic plan.

 Now that the strategic plan is in place, this committee will explore policy EIC(local) in depth this fall.
