TOPS: Requires schools to use a 10-point grading scale to assign grades used in the calculation of the minimum grade point average required for initial award eligibility (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

Header information changed from 'ENROLLED' to 'HLS 25RS-448 ORIGINAL' and the sponsor list was shortened from two representatives to one.

A new 'Digest' section was inserted containing a summary and abstract of the bill's purpose.

The legislative status page was updated to reflect the 'Original' version instead of the 'Enrolled' version.

Added a requirement for nonpublic schools approved by the state to use the 10-point grading scale for TOPS GPA calculations.

Mandated that nonpublic schools failing to use the 10-point scale in 2024-2025 must recalculate and resubmit grades for graduates with a GPA under 3.50.

Clarified that the 10-point scale must be used for GPA calculations regardless of whether the school uses a different scale for other purposes.

Set a deadline of August 31, 2025, for nonpublic schools to submit the recertified grades to the Department of Education.
