Clarksville Now
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A change to the state’s grading scale could give Tennessee students an edge for college admissions and scholarships, and it’s in legislation backed by Rep. Jason Hodges, D-Clarksville.
The bill working its way through the state legislature would require schools to switch from the current 7-point grading scale to the more widely used 10-point scale.
Hodges discussed his bill during a recent interview on Clarksville’s Conversation with Katie Gambill, Charlie Koon and Chris Smith. Hodges also discussed entering his second term as a legislator, medical marijuana and other upcoming legislation.
