Week Ahead: School Board to Vote On Grading Scales

A months-long discussion on grading scales at Oak Creek's high school and two middle schools could come to an end Monday.

The Oak Creek-Franklin School Board is set to vote on a new grading scale in its meeting Monday, which begins at 6 p.m. at the school district offices, 7630 S. 10th St.
