9.P. Annual Review and discussion of Policy FM (LOCAL): Student Activities.
This policy includes the maximum number of absences related to extracurricular activities that a student will be allowed in a school year. Check that the number of absences allowed and the conditions under which the absences are permitted are still correct.
If a district chooses to prohibit homeschool students from participating in extracurricular activities through the district, it must adopt a policy indicating such. UIL has established a deadline of August 1 for districts. Please verify that FM(LOCAL) includes the cross reference to FD(LOCAL) if this is the district's practice and contact your policy consultant if revisions are needed.

9.Q. Annual Review and discussion of Policy EIC (LOCAL): Class Rank
This policy addresses the district’s class rank provisions. It is recommended that any changes to this policy be made during the summer with specific provision notes added for clarification. If your policy needs to be updated or if outdated provisions need to be removed, please contact your policy consultant. Review your policy for changes that might be needed due to the following:
Pre-AP® Course Designation: The College Board, which provides Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP) courses, has notified districts that Pre-AP is a registered trademark and can only be used in relation to official College Board Pre-AP courses. During the 2021-22 school year, districts were required to cease using a “Pre-AP” label for courses that have not been approved by the College Board. If your district has not already revised its class rank or other policies accordingly, please contact your policy consultant.
Retaken Course Grades: State law permits parents to elect to have their student repeat a high school course in which the student was enrolled during the previous school year unless the district determines the student has met all requirements for graduation. Absent local policy, TEA guidance provides that the original passing grade must be retained. Contact your policy consultant for assistance with policy language that reflects the district’s option regarding the use of grades from retaken courses in the calculation of class rank and on the transcript.

9.R. Annual Review and discussion of Policy EIA (LOCAL): Grading/Progress Reports to Parents
This policy includes important information about grade reports to parents and students. At Progress Reporting, check that the grade reporting period for report cards is correct. At Interim Reports, ensure that the information correctly reflects district practice for issuing interim progress reports. Be sure the grade reporting period matches any grade reporting period mentioned in EIC(LOCAL).

9.S. Annual Review and discussion of Policy BED (LOCAL): Public Participation
This policy reflects important information relating to public participation during board meetings. Verify that the time limit specified for an individual’s comments to the board remains appropriate for your community. Confirm that the policy correctly reflects the district’s decision whether to receive public comments concerning subjects not posted on an agenda.
