Updates to Round Rock ISD class ranking policy to be considered Nov. 17

In addition to district policy regarding reading materials in libraries and classrooms, the Round Rock ISD board of trustees will consider updates to its class rank policy at a Nov. 17 meeting.

The changes come as part of a regular policy update from the Texas Association of School Boards.

Specifically, the board will consider whether to broaden courses taken into account for class rank.

As of now, Round Rock ISD students' class rank is based on core classes—English, science, math, social studies and language. Additional weight is also given to advanced courses.

Proposed changes to the policy could grow the list to include University of Texas OnRamps courses, any advanced course leading to an opportunity to earn college credit, talented and gifted courses and courses beyond the advanced placement of International Baccalaureate level.

Additional information regarding the proposed policies is available on the district's website.
