IN HR0065

Urges the legislative council to assign a study committee to examine school performance grades and whether different grading scales create disparities in state educational institution enrollment eligibility.

Identifies that Indiana school corporations and secondary schools use varying grading scales and percentiles for the A through F grade system, creating inconsistency in how student performance is measured.

Notes that colleges and universities rely on high school performance grades to determine eligibility for admission, grants, scholarships, and direct program entry.

Requires the assigned study committee to issue a final report to the legislative council by November 1, 2018, containing findings, recommendations, and any recommended legislation regarding standardized grading scales.
