Student Grades. Teachers have the responsibility for assigning student grades as earned by the student through established criteria. Teachers also have the responsibility to maintain records that reflect criteria for those grades given.

Should a dispute arise surrounding the grade given to a student, the following procedures will be utilized prior to any grade change taking place:

C. The building administrator will make a determination as to the validity of the request. Should the building administrator determine that the request for grade change has merit; the case will be moved forward. Should the building administrator determine that the request for grade change is without merit; the complaining party may use the patron grievance process or withdraw from the process.
D. Should the employee and building administrator disagree about the disposition of this matter, a panel, consisting of the affected employee, a building representative, the building administrator, and the building administrators’ supervisor shall meet to discuss the matter fully. This panel shall attempt to make a decision about the grade change.
