 Proposed
changes in GPA for state college
admissions: In the
linked document, you will see
slides from the presentation given
by the KISD Department of GT and
Advanced Academic Studies on
September 29. The meeting
was a GT Parent Orientation for
Junior High and High School.
Toward the end of the
presentation, the recent 4x4
graduation requirements are
explained and a Texas uniform
GPA proposal is outlined.
The GPA proposal impacts current
eighth grade students and younger and
is relevant to all
students who intend to take AP,
Pre-AP and dual-credit courses.
The public comment
period is open at least until October
6th, but may be extended until
October 21st. Please do not
wait to let your voice be heard.
State contact information is
listed at the end of the document.
Please
note: this is not a
KISD policy change. It is a
proposed change at the state
level.
