With the start of the new 2019-2020 school, the Howard County Public School System introduced a new set of policies that affect the entirety of middle and high school students. These modifications have altered many different aspects of Howard County schools and have also received a mixed response from students, from homework policies and submission times to the removal of extra credit entirely. Many of these policy changes were targeted to the grading guidelines used in HCPSS schools in order to “ensure that information on grading, reporting, promotion, retention, and homework is determined in a clear and consistent manner, and reported to students and their families through regular and timely communication about student academic progress.” (hcpss.org, Policy 8020 - Grading and Reporting: Middle and High School) |
