    The document proposes amendments to the local education code regarding the calculation of class rank for high school students. Key changes include: 1) Excluding more course types from the class rank calculation, such as credit recovery courses. 2) Eliminating unweighted GPAs and solely using a weighted GPA to determine class rank. 3) Implementing a tiered weighting system that assigns different weight factors to courses based on their difficulty level. 4) Requiring students to be continuously enrolled in the district for 5 semesters prior to graduation to be eligible for valedictorian or salutatorian.
