NEW POLICIES
 

* Weighted Grades for Concurrent Classes  
Beginning with the class of 2011, students concurrently enrolling in college courses for high school credit will earn weighted grades for grade point average calculation.  For example, an A in the traditional high school English class will be worth the traditional 4 points while an A in a college English class used for high school grades would be worth 5 points.  The rationale for the purposed policy is more rigorous courses deserve a higher weight than their traditional counter parts.

Traditional Classes                                       Concurrent Classes

     A=4 points                                                           A=5 points
     B=3 points                                                           B=4 points

     C=2 points                                                           C=3 points

*Agra Schools Student Drug Policy

Any student found to be in possession of, under the influence of, distributing or offering to distribute non intoxicating beverages (3.2 beer) or intoxicating beverages; controlled dangerous substances, counterfeit drugs, or any other abusable chemical substance, including prescription medication, may be suspended up to the rest of the current semester and all of the succeeding semester.  A report and/or notification may be provided to the proper legal authorities.

This regulation shall also apply to students who possess or distribute or offer to distribute substances, of whatever composition, that are represented by the seller or distributor to be narcotics or behavioral or mood changing substances.

Therefore, students may be disciplined for distributing nonprescription or prescription medications or look-alike, fake, counterfeit, or "turkey" drugs or any other chemical substance to other students, even though such medications or fake drugs are not illegal drugs.  Such distribution is prohibited in school buildings, on school property, or at any school-sponsored event.  Discipline may include suspension up to the rest of the current semester and all of the succeeding semester.
