Clark County School District Declares A Change In Grading Policy 

The board of CCSD trustees recently had a meeting discussing the solidification revolving around the idea of reevaluating the standardized approach for determining coursework value

This concept of summative dominating formative categorization has always been prevalent, however, in recent statements by the board of trustees that declares policies revolving around standardization, things have changed. 

Subsequently, the public statement from the board entails that the original policy of eighty percent summative and twenty percent formative was ineffective and did not truly represent the capabilities of the students of Clark County School District. 

Following this response, the Association of Higher Level Education and the inherent structure of referenced policies could be advantageous or detrimental. By this academics were proclaimed to be a mass domino effect not only on students of the present, but, for future generations pertaining to the workforce as well. 

“Preparing students for college and career means explicitly teaching successful habits of learning,” the Board of trustees of Clark County School District’s education expressed. 

Intrinsically, the implementation of this policy is to be introduced in practicality during the start of the 2022-2023 school year. Moreover, the actualization that this policy has been stated during the most recent meeting to be inexorable unless dire need is expressed. Not affecting the behavioral or timeliness standards, but still being of prevalence to students. 

“CCSD is not adopting a ‘No Fail’ policy, students who are in danger of failing will be provided with assistance to demonstrate new learning,” CCSD BT
