            Senate Bill 2033 amends the Education Code to require a school district to adopt a grading policy before each school year that requires a teacher to assign a grade that reflects the student's relative mastery of an assignment. The policy may not require a teacher to assign a minimum grade for an assignment without regard to the student's quality of work and may allow a student a reasonable opportunity to make up or redo a class assignment or examination for which the student received a failing grade. The bill makes its provisions applicable beginning with the 2009-2010 school year.
