Homework policy gets first reading

Conneaut School Board members gave a first reading to a home work policy when the school directors met in regular monthly session Wed., Nov. 9, at Conneaut Lake Middle School.
The policy is a one page sheet that limits homework grading to no more than 25% of a grade as the school district faces technology upgrades in the world.
With Conneaut Area Senior High School students using iPads as their main source of information and teachers able to monitor work in the classroom, the need for a change in the importance of homework came about.
Homework with new technology becomes a place groups can join together to do the work , i.e., one person could do all the homework for English, one for Math, etc.
Finding out who can do the work in classrooms has become more of the focus.
