Some school districts use a +/- system, where the modifier counts as 0.3.

The top of the school website now has this nonpology. Basically he ended the imposed punishments with no admission or understanding that he was wrong, and then it’s back to exactly the way it was before. Fuck this guy and the rest of his ilk trying to drag south Louisiana backwards
I believe it is necessary to respond to the public attention that has resulted from my actions regarding Kaylee Timonet’s participation in a dance party that was sponsored at an off-site location following WHS Homecoming.
I have had time to consider my actions, have conversations with the Timonets, and meet with district staff.
First, let me say that I have apologized to the Timonets and I am hopeful that my scheduled meeting with Kaylee’s mom will rectify this situation and allow Kaylee to enjoy the remainder of her senior year at Walker High School.
I will be reinstating Kaylee’s position on the Student Government Association. The SGA was created to give students a voice in their school and their community, to promote leadership qualities, and to represent their school with pride, enthusiasm, and respect. Our student government members are held to a high standard of student behavior. While I stand by that premise, I do believe that standard deserves the input of not just myself and top administrators, but also those student leaders. I hope to create a path moving forward where we can work together to create clear expectations for all.
I will be reinstating my scholarship endorsement for Kaylee. At Walker High, we strive to place our students first in every decision so they may be prepared for whatever career path they may aspire to take, and I believe my action will assist in doing that.
Finally, during my conversation with Kaylee regarding the dance party, the subject of religious beliefs was broached by Kaylee and myself. While that conversation was meant with the best intentions, I do understand it is not my responsibility to determine what students’ or others’ religious beliefs may be – that should be the responsibility of the individual
As principal of Walker High School, I am faced daily with many difficult decisions for the interest of our students and employees that are never taken lightly. Please know that I always strive to place our students first in every decision. It is for that reason that I have taken this corrective action.
As we move forward, I ask for your continued support of Walker High School, our amazing teachers, and outstanding students.
Thank you,
Jason St. Pierre, Principal
Walker High School

Dumba$$ should have to pay for the girl’s scholarships out of his own pocket.

The more I think of this story the more enraging it is.
Remember Brock Turner, the rapist? Because he was “from a good family” and on the swim team or whatever, he got leeway in his case.
Now this girl, because she’s a good student, etc., is punished for her actions, which are SO much not warranting punishment to begin with.
Fucking double standard.

Our Father high in heaven, smile down upon your son
Who is busy with his money games his women and his gun
Oh Jesus save me
And the unsung western hero, he killed an Indian or three
And then he made his name in Hollywood to set the white man free
Oh Jesus save me
If Jesus saves, well he better save himself
From the gory glory seekers who use his name in death
Oh Jesus save me

Not your fault at all! There are many wonderful things in Louisiana and this type of crap happens everywhere.

Yep, AP classes are weighted to a 5.0 scale and then averaged with the other non-AP classes.
But most importantly, the principal is a dipshit and he should be fired.
If the student lost an opportunity of competing for a possible scholarship, she should find a lawyer.

I have always loved this line. It really resonated with my high school self after I saw Ernest Angley on television. Sanctimonious, money-grabbing bastards. I was young and naive - just couldn’t believe people actually sent him money. Fortunately, I had my parents and Ian Anderson to learn from.

I wasn’t even in my teens yet when I heard about my aunt and her husband sending money to Oral Roberts (could have been Swaggart or one of the other big name crooks of the time.) Even at that tender age, I just couldn’t believe anyone would fall for that!
This was several years before his “… or God will call me home” scam. I still find it both hilarious and infuriating that anyone sent him a dime on that one. No wonder the same sorts of fools fell for Trump. (Don’t know if my aunt and uncle would have - they were both dead before 2016.)
