School Board Approves .5 Additional Weighting for Honors Courses

The School Board Approved the following motion tonight. The vote was 7-2 (Yes - Bergel, DuPree, Godfrey, Guzman, Marshall, Ohneiser, and Reed; No - Geurin and Stevens). Here is the motion we approved:

That the School Board approve the assignment of an additional .5 weighting to existing high school honors classes. The .5 weighting applies to the transcripts of students taking honors classes in the 2009-2010 school year and applies retroactively to all students currently enrolled in LCPS who have high school honors classes on their transcripts from previous years.
