SENATE BILL 1194

 

AN ACT TO REQUIRE PARENTAL SIGNATURES ON REPORT CARDS IN THE GASTON COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  Upon resolution of the Gaston County Board of Commissioners, all schools in the Gaston County School System are hereby required to furnish a report card for each student at least once during every nine weeks during the school term.  The report card is to clearly define the academic or scholastic status or rating that the student has attained in each subject the student has been assigned during the period.  The manner of grading, numerical, alphabetical or coded, may be provided by the Board of Education as it deems proper to sufficiently indicate to a parent which subjects the student is passing or failing.  The report card is to be issued to each student and further must be signed by either parent and then returned by the student.

Sec. 2. This act shall become effective July 1, 1974.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 10th day of April, 1974.
