Are we still using the Merit/Demerit System

# data[].attributes.body
A: Yes

We do need to get away from the belief that students who accumulate demerits will automatically move to an alternative setting. Most students who do not pose an immediate threat will continue at West High. The current system is designed as an internal tracking tool to assist Student Services in implementing interventions.

Students are often confused on Mondays or after extended weekends/breaks.

A: PE/Health classes are going back to semester scheduling.
