About 40 Waukee-area parents attended a forum last night to learn more about the proposed standards-based grading system. The new system would eliminate traditional letter grades.
Several of the parents at the forum said they didn’t understand why the school couldn’t use standards-based learning while also assigning traditional letter grades. Many also expressed frustration that they only learned of the district’s plans about one month ago. The Waukee school board will vote on the issue at its regular meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
