What if schools in my district want different scales than other schools?
What if schools in my district want different scales than other schools?
This is a common request, and there are pros and cons to this approach to be aware of.
Technically, this can be done. However, consider these questions.
1. What happens when a student transfers to another school within the district?
2. Is it okay in the community if different schools in the district have different expectations for students?
3. If the teachers/schools can't come to a consensus about what the curriculum is, who will make the decisions?
As always, please reach out to your CSR for support with these questions. We love to be thought partners!
