On June 24, 2009, the Board of Trustees approved the Administration’s recommendation to rescind the decision of April 23, 2009 regarding revisions to the class rank point structure, effective for the 2009-2010 school year. This will allow for further study and review on this topic before a subsequent recommendation is made to implement a new class rank scale.
