School Grades Will Not Count Against Students

Grades after the March school closure will not count against Tennessee students.

That’s according to Clay County Director Of Schools Matt Eldridge, who said the State Department of Education implemented the decision in a Thursday conference call.

Eldridge said his system had already planned to use grades during this online scenario only to help students.

The State Department of Education also reduced the number of credits needed to graduate this year from 22 to 20.
