Stop Standards Based Grading at CPCSC
This petition had 590 supporters
A new grading system called Standards Based Grading has been quietly introduced with little knowledge by parents and no broad communication to the Clark-Pleasant parents and citizens.
These changes are currently being expanding from K-6th grade to 7-12th grades.
Parents and students are already noticing a negative impact, and implementation has caused major confusion in our school district.
There is no solid data showing SBG is successful and no clear mathematical way to convert a 1-4 grading scale into letter grades. This takes us out of synch with how the rest of the nation evaluates their students.
By signing this petition, I am requesting that the CPCSC School Board advocate for our students, parents, and citizens by STOPPING the implementation of Standards Based Grading in grades 6-12 and immediately form a Parent Advisory Group to evaluate Standards Based Grading in grades K-5.
