A Possible Headline

Sacramento, CA – The California Supreme Court upheld a decision to allow the Van Nuys School Board to reallocate grade points taking them from higher performing students and giving them to lower performing students in order to allow less academic students to pass. The proposed system would take up to 20 points from A and B students. For example, a student that is making a grade of 95 percent in English could loose 15 percentage points to a student making only a 55 percent in order to allow the lower performing student to pass. The proposed system would raise the lower performing student’s grade to 70 percent and lower the grade of the 95 percent student to 80 percent. The plaintiff, Mr. John Braynes, plans to appeal the decision to protect his daughter’s current grade point average.
