[quote]MCPS also plans to audit course designations of the “honors” label, to ensure continued difficulty and the integrity of weighted GPAs.[/quote][/quote]

What does that mean "audit course designations"?  Does that mean that they'll observe the issue for a few years and do nothing about it til the next Superintendent?[/quote]
Changes are supposed to be implemented in 2025/26 cal year.

But what changes--what does audit mean in this context?  
"Audit courses for use of honors designations and benchmark weighting models."[/quote]

Earlier this year a group from central office came through our high school and reviewed an honors science course. They felt it lacked adequate student "inquiry," and therefore was too easy for honors and needed to be fixed.  I am not sure how they're going to go about fixing it, but I assume this is the model for audits[/quote]
