What happened
In August the board had a first reading of a Laude grading system at Amherst High School that gives points for classes, sports and clubs instead of only a 4.0 average. In September it adopted a class-rank policy change that adds language for the Laude system if approved.
Why it matters to families
It would change how students are graded and ranked, including for college admission.
The evidence
Aug. 17 minutes (first reading and presentation) and Sept. 21 minutes (class-rank policy adopted, 5-0). The Laude policy itself had not been adopted in the records read.
