There is another problem that occurs with the current state of things in schools and GPA that districts have to look at.  If a district goes to a pass/fail for the the second semester then by NCAA rules the grade attached to the pass would turn into the lowest possible grade to pass a class in the district. So a class that they might have 80s in that will turn into 65 or 70 depending on the state.  Districts can state they are only taking the 1 semester and 3rd quarter for GPA but the Clearinghouse takes specific classes to determine their GPA.

So hopefully districts know how Clearinghouse works unless the NCAA also change this rule to.  This could affect alot of kids being eligible.  The district I teach at in Texas had to make the 4th quarter have actual grades because we have students that could affect their scholarships.  Luckily, down here in Texas our passing grade is 70 but I know in NY its 65%.  We are only dealing with 1 marking period.  I know some districts are trying to deal with 3rd and 4th marking periods in NY. Just FYI! [U][/U]
