December St. Elmo School Board Meeting

St. Elmo school board members have endorsed a switch from quarter grade reports to semesters for the 2013-2014 school year.

The switch was approved after Board members heard a recommendation from High School Principal Brian Garrard.

Board members also approved a 10-point grading scale, effective for 2013-2014, and passed the tax levy for the coming fiscal year.

The Board heard from Superintendent Deb Philpot that the school district has not received any fiscal year categorical payments from the State.

Board members set their January meeting for the 28th.
