STANDARDS
OF PROFICIENCY
The chief school
administrator, in consultation with teaching staff, shall develop criteria for
evaluation, indicators of achievement of the criteria, and acceptable standards
of achievement for all grade levels, courses and programs offered by the
district. The criteria, indicators
and standards must be related to district goals and objectives. Parents/guardians shall be informed in
a timely manner whenever their child appears in danger of failing to meet
required proficiency levels. Parents/guardians
shall be strongly encouraged to participate in designing remedial plans for
their children.
These standards of
proficiency shall include but not be limited to those Core Curriculum Content
Standards identified by the State Department of Education and shall form the
basis for the district's grading system.
The specific indicators of achievement and standards of proficiency
developed for all courses and programs accepted for credit toward high school
graduation shall be given to pupils and parents/guardians, in writing, at the
time the pupil registers for the course.
By the date required by
law, the chief school administrator shall annually report to the board and the
community at a regularly scheduled meeting an evaluation of pupil achievement
toward meeting district and school goals and objectives.
Low pupil achievement
shall be regarded by the board as an indication that revisions are needed in
educational programming, general strategy, staff resource use, staff
evaluation, and/or other aspects of the learning program.

EVALUATION OF INDIVIDUAL 2. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE RUTHERFORD BOARD OF EDUCATION to
STUDENT PERFORMANCE approve the following new Policy #6147.1
Evaluation of Individual Student Performance on first reading:
EVALUATION
OF INDIVIDUAL STUDENT PERFORMANCE
Grading
The chief school
administrator, in consultation with the teaching staff, shall develop a marking
system to be used uniformly in the same grade level throughout the
schools. The system should be
clear, easily understood by parents/guardians and pupils, and able to be
applied with consistency of interpretation. Computation of grade‑point average and rank in class
shall be uniform throughout the district.
Evaluation and grading symbols shall be intended to appraise the pupil's
progress toward established goals, and shall be a factor in promotion/graduation
decisions.
The board of
education encourages the certified staff, under the direction of the chief
school administrator, to employ a comprehensive approach to the use of
appraisal and evaluative techniques in monitoring pupil progress, including, but
not limited to, written and oral teacher‑made tests, performance
observation, parent/guardian interviews, formal and informal evaluation
techniques, use of cumulative pupil records, and medical examinations. Recognized standardized achievement
tests may also be used in grades designated by the board.
If a grade is
challenged by a parent or a pupil, a teacher-parent conference shall be held in
which the teacher shall furnish the grades and the reasons for the final
grade. If a parent or pupil is not
satisfied with the teacher conference, the pupil or parent may go to the
principal. In an attempt to
resolve the matter, the principal must involve the teacher and the pupil and
the parent in the investigation.
The decision regarding the grade then rests with the principal. If the grade is changed by the
principal, he/she should change the grade on all records, and note by whose
authority the grade has been changed.
No reprisals shall be taken in any form against a teacher who remains
determined in his/her belief that the grade he/she originally gave is fair and
correct.
If the grade is not
changed at the building level, it is the right of the parent or pupil to pursue
the matter to the Superintendent and finally to the Board. In the investigation either by the
Superintendent or the Board, the teacher must be involved and has the right to
be represented by any person named by him/her. It is the right of the Superintendent or Board to make a
final judgment in support of or to change a grade. If the grade is changed at this level, it shall be duly
noted on all school records by whose authority the grade was changed. No reprisal shall be taken against the
principal who remains determined in his/her belief that his/her original
determination is fair and correct.
Testing
In addition to
testing procedures established in policy 5120 Assessment of individual needs,
the school district shall establish and maintain a general testing program to:
A. Improve
the instructional program to assist pupils in achieving the Core Curriculum
Content Standards;
B. Measure the needs and progress of
individual pupils;
C. Measure the achievement of grade
levels;
D. Allow comparison of district pupils
with national or other norms;
E. Aid in evaluation of programs.
The district
testing program shall embody at least the tests required by state law.
The administration
shall continually scrutinize the applicability and effectiveness
of tests being
used in the district.
School personnel shall not use tests, procedures or
other guidance and counseling materials that are differentiated or stereotyped
on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin or
social or economic status.
Any requests for surveys, pupil observations, or pupil
questionnaires must be forwarded through the principal's office to the chief
school administrator's office for approval before any survey or observation can
be conducted.
Individual results of standardized tests, including
intelligence tests, shall be made available to parents/guardians upon their
request, but shall be considered confidential information to be available only
to authorized persons. School and
district test results shall be discussed in a
public meeting.
Determining Class Rank
The chief school administrator shall develop
procedures for determining class ranking that take into account:
A. Records of transfer pupils;
B. Honors and advanced courses.
