- Act to avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest
- Recognize the absence of authority outside of the collective board
- Respect the role, authority and input of the superintendent
- Balance the responsibility to provide educational programs with being stewards of community resources
- Abide by the majority decision

Recommended Action :
That the Board of School Directors approves on second reading changes to Policy Number 9744, titled - Class Rank/Honors Credits - Class of 2017 and Beyond, as presented.
Public Content
The Board acknowledges the usefulness of a system of computing grade point averages and class ranking for secondary school graduates to inform students, parents, and others of their relative academic placement among their peers under relatively similar circumstances.
Students will be eligible for Valedictorian, Salutatorian, Historian, and Honor scholastic recognition if they have been enrolled as a full-time student in the District for their entire junior and senior year. A full-time student is defined as a student who earns a minimum of five (5) credits during his/her senior year. Students who were full-time students in the District their junior year and fulfilled their graduation requirements by earning fewer than five (5) credits their senior year will be eligible for scholastic recognition at the end of their senior year.
The grades from all subjects are to be used in the determination of class standing. The following procedure is employed:
- Grades from all four marking periods and the final examination grade are averaged to determine the final grade. The weight of the final examination will be no more than 20% of the final grade. All classes in grades 9-12 shall have a final exam, with the exceptions of art, music, and physical education courses. Due to the classroom theory portions of Health and First Aid/CPR, these two physical education courses will continue to have a final exam. A tentative ranking and a final grade average is determined for the combination of the freshman, sophomore, and junior years. These are recorded on the permanent records. As requests for transcripts come in, this tentative ranking and grade averages are listed on the transcripts.
- When students attain senior year status, a final ranking is established by determining the final average at the close of the fourth marking period. The final average will determine the Valedictorian, Salutatorian, and Historian, and summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude recognition. The following categories will be established for honor students.
summa cum laude Final Average > 98%
magna cum laude Final Average with the following range: > 93% and < 98%
cum laude Final Average within the following range: > 86% and < 93%
Students enrolled in honors, AP, or Dual Enrollment classes will have a value added to their final class grade (percentage) for that subject. AP students may opt to take the AP Exam. The following schedule will be used in completing the calculations for value added to the final class grade for that subject (percentage):

*If a credit qualifies for AP or Dual Enrollment as well as Honors, the student shall receive only an additional value of 10 (not 15).
*Any Dual Enrollment course offered within the planned instruction of the Warren County School District with a Warren County School District teacher of record will have the value added equal to that of the course in which it is being offered.
- The final rankings are determined after the final grades have been recorded. The final ranking is determined by weighted GPA which is derived from credits attempted times grades earned divided by credits attempted with weight attributed to the individual course where earned.
All curricular areas, whether they are special education, vocational, academic, or cyber are used to determine the grade average, which are then in turn used to determine the final class ranking at the end of the senior year. Grades received in any Pass/Fail course shall not be counted towards a student’s GPA.
Students who attend any District secondary school for the purpose of enrolling in advanced placement and/or honors classes will be awarded the weighted credit for the AP and/or honor course(s) in their home school.
Students who attend other educational institutions or complete correspondence courses outside the District during their tenure in the District may not use their grades from those institutions to determine their class rank. Only grades earned in the District will be used. The only exception to this is for students that are either (i) enrolled in an approved dual enrollment and the students receive dual credit pursuant to Sections 1601-B through 1615-B of the School Code, or (ii) awarded dual credit by an accredited post-secondary institution that is approved to operate in Pennsylvania and with which the District has an agreement that provides for the awarding of dual credit in accordance with Section 1525 of the School Code. These students will have their college credit and grades recorded on their high school transcript: the credits and grades will be used to determine their GPA, and the course will be awarded .33 credit per college credit-hour, with a 3 credit-hour college course being awarded a full credit upon successful completion.
The Superintendent or his/her designee is charged with developing procedures for implementation of this policy.
