San Francisco’s public school’s chief announced a “Grading for Equity” plan that will affect more than 10,000 high school students in the deep blue city.
The new grading system will award scores as low as a 41 on a 100-point test with a C grade, according to the Voice of San Francisco. Students with a score as low as 21 out of 100 will pass exams with a D grade, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Maria Su, San Francisco Superintendent of Schools, unveiled the plan on Tuesday, without seeking approval from the San Francisco Board of Education, according to The Voice of San Francisco. The plan will go into effect this fall, in 14 high schools in the San Francisco area.
Su announced the program on the last slide of a 25-page PowerPoint board meeting. Her staffers say they have no authority to reject the plan, according to the Free Beacon, while plans to train teachers in the new grading system are set to be implemented in August, according to The Voice of San Francisco.
The plan follows a $110 million budget reduction for the San Francisco Unified School District.
