 Page  2  of 2 
 APPLICATION ACROSS PK-12 
 These principles apply uniformly across the District and are implemented in developmentally 
 appropriate ways at each level. The form that grading and reporting take—for example, 
 standards-based reporting in the elementary grades and letter or percentage grades in the secondary 
 grades—may differ, but the underlying commitments to accuracy, transparency, consistency, equity, and 
 support for learning remain constant from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12. 
 TRANSCRIPTS 
 Student transcripts are permanent records and shall be processed and archived by the high school 
 Registrar. 
 DELEGATION TO THE SUPERINTENDENT 
 The Board directs the Superintendent, or designee, to develop, maintain, and communicate 
 administrative regulations and school-level procedures that put this policy into practice, including the 
 development of specific grading scales.
