I'm concerned with some of the proposed changes to 8VAC20-160-50 "Weight of advanced-level courses," specifically, striking the word "shall" with "may." By removing the requirement that school divisions include weighted grading for IB/AP courses, there would be inconsistencies between the grade point averages of students achieving the same grades in the same courses, but who merely live in different school districts. I don't understand the intention of the Board with this change, but I support the rest of the revisions.
