Welcome!

This page is for parents concerned about the Hillsboro School District’s adoption and implementation of “Policy IK” which addresses grading practices at the secondary level (middle and high school).  Pieces of this policy include “balanced grading” and class grades being 90% “summative” (tests, quizzes, projects) and only 10% “formative” (homework, assignments). Next year the district plans to make grades 100% summative based. 

The policy has been confusing, inconsistently applied, and poorly communicated.  It is not in the best interest of students.  Our group is asking the district to repeal Policy IK.

There is a very narrow window of time to express to the district our concerns and frustrations with the policy and its implementation.  The district will finalize its “Plan of Action” on this policy and present it at the March 20th, 2012 Board Meeting.   

We need your support in order to get this repealed.  Please join us today.
