(b) Districts may identify additional honors courses in the subject areas of English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, economics, or a language other than English for the purpose of this section, but must identify such courses prior to the semester in which any exemptions related to extracurricular activities occur. (c) Districts are neither required to nor restricted from considering courses as honors for the purpose of grade point average calculation. The amendment above, adopted by the State Board of Education, modifies the definition of advanced courses and aligns the rule with newly amended Texas Education Code, §33.081, which narrows the number of courses that may be exempt from "No Pass, No Play" requirements. The amendment was adopted with no changes from what was published as proposed. The courses referenced in section (b) above do not have to be submitted to the University Interscholastic League, they may be maintained at the local school district level. Effective Date: June 23, 2008. |
