Adopt the Statewide Standardized Grading System Act

LB 1112 requires Nebraska schools to adopt a uniform statewide grading system for all credit-bearing courses in grades 3-12, applying equally to resident students and enrollment option students. It mandates a single statewide grading scale, consistent rules for calculating grades (including late assignments and rounding), and alignment with state academic standards. Schools must implement this system starting in the 2027-2028 school year, publish the grading scale in student handbooks and on websites, and report grades to the State Department of Education in a standardized format. The bill aims to reduce inequities for students transferring between districts or applying for scholarships by ensuring consistent academic measurement across all public, private, parochial, and denominational schools.
