The ACPS community is upset about COLA, and they don’t mean the carbonated beverage.

ACPS’s new budget proposal highlights the continued student need for effective administrative techniques and school resources. To address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on ACHS students, administration and faculty have implemented policies to ease stress since 2020. For example, during the 2021-22 academic year, students could not lose points for submission of late work up to two weeks after the due date. Additionally, final exams that did not raise their grade were exempt from students’ final grade reports.
