District news

A new grading policy, then two rounds of revisions

Prince George County Public Schools · Aug 10, 2026

Day-to-day

What happened

A proposed grading policy was presented to the board on May 11, 2026 and taken to a vote on June 8, 2026. The proposal came back as "Proposed Grading Policy & Regulations" on July 27, 2026 and again as "Revised Grading Policy & Regulations" on August 10, 2026, so the rules were still being reworked as the new school year began.

Why it matters to families

A grading policy decides how much homework counts, whether late work is accepted, whether a student can retake a test, and how a final grade is worked out. It is the rule that turns a student's daily work into a report card.

The evidence

The board's published meeting index lists "Proposed Grading Policy - Dr. Abbie Martin" as a presentation on May 11, 2026, "Grading Policy - Dr. Martin" as an action item on June 8, 2026, "Proposed Grading Policy & Regulations - Dr. Martin" as a discussion item on July 27, 2026, and "Revised Grading Policy & Regulations - Dr. Martin" as a discussion item on August 10, 2026. The index gives titles only, so what the new grading rules say is not established here.
