5462 - RETAKING A CLASS

The School Board acknowledges that at times it may be necessary for a student to retake a class or a student may desire to retake a class. The Board authorizes the Superintendent to devise a system for considering a student request to retake a class.

A class may be retaken only if one or more of the following conditions exist:

1. The student received a grade of F in the class.
2. The student received a grade of C- or below and wishes to better master the content.
3. The student received a grade of C- or below and wishes to meet the grade requirements for an Academic Honors Diploma.

A student seeking to retake a class will make an application with the guidance department. The student shall state the reason for the requested retake on the application. The guidance department will review the application. The principal shall have the authority to grant final approval for a student to retake a class.

The following conditions apply to retaking a class:

1. student may retake one (1) class (one semester only) to improve a grade during his/her high school career and it must be within one year after receiving the semester grade of the class being retaken (may not be done after graduation).
2. No online classes will be accepted in replacement of high school courses used for an Academic Honors Diploma without administrative approval.
3. The grade earned (either higher or lower) when the class is retaken will be placed on the transcript and replace the original grade in the calculation of the GPA.
