Thursday’s vote ends an experiment East Baton Rouge Parish began in 2005 in hopes of improving overall student achievement. The overwhelming majority of high schools in the state, however, have stuck with the 1.5 minimum GPA, in keeping with rules set by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association. Caddo and Jefferson parishes, the only public school districts in the state that still require a 2.0 minimum GPA, nevertheless are looser in their standard than East Baton Rouge has been. In Caddo, for instance, schools can waive the 2.0 rule for up to 2 percent of the students at any given school. Jefferson allows some students who fall below 2.0 to keep playing for up to two marking periods while they try to bring up their grades.
Good thing?

Yes...those with shitty upbringing can still have a shot at their dreams. Tough to get the grades when the schools are shite, sperm donors are shite...frick it...let em play after school instead of being a crab in a bucket

I don't think if it's going to be a 1.5, just don't have one. A talented student athlete shouldn't be kept from the field if they have a 1.3, if a talented student can play with a 1.5.

Why not? Lowering the proverbial bar never seems to negatively impact those involved.
Just keep passing them along...

Nothing improves achievement faster than lowering the standards of "achievement".

don't you need at least a 2.0 to play college sports?
Posted on 8/25/15 at 2:31 pm to meauxjeaux2
I will forgive this aggressive insertion in another's territory because I like you.

My son wrote a paper on this. He is in the 10th grade, has a 3.85 GPA, and plays baseball for the high school. He thinks it's ridiculous that EBR schools are lowering the standards for student athletes.

Discussed a couple of weeks ago on here.

Everyone here is really impressed with your son's HS GPA. Thanks for sharing.
