Grade Integrity and Grade Books
The teacher of each course determines the grade that each student receives. Except in cases of clerical or mechanical error, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence, the grade is final. If an administrator suspects fraud or bad faith, he or she must consult with the Department of Catholic Schools before any action is taken. If a grading error is discovered after grades are submitted, the grade may be corrected only with the written consent and collaboration of both the teacher and elementary school principal.
A teacher's grade book (either a hard copy or electronic copy) is to be confidential and inaccessible to students.
