What is the name of your state? The grades on my sons transcript are incorrect and this is keeping him off of the honor society. And the board will not intervene. I want to sue.

Public or private school? What grade level? How far off is the transcript? And importantly, what damages has your son suffered from being off the honor society? While it's a nice accolade, in general not making honor society for a semester or quarter isn't going to materially change your son's life or his opportunities. Unless you can show some harm (beyond loss of prestige/status) there is nothing for which to sue.

Do you know what caused the errors on the transcript?

Do you know why there is reluctance (or refusal) to correct the transcripts?

This is a public school? My son is a senior. Three grades are wrong. About 4 points. The transcript was sent to colleges incorrect which affected his GPA and a loss of scholarships. If he earned those grades I want him to have them and that prestige. Also the county is not in compliance with the consent decree. If I cannot sue what can I do?

What consent decree?

Lee V Macon

Please explain what Lee v. Macon has to do with your son's transcript. Thanks.

In one of the classes the grade was put in incorrectly. So when they averaged the semester 1 and 2 they used the correct grade which was lower than the one that was put in. for example, he had a 84 but they used a 79 for calculation,
The other grades semester 1 and 2 did not average out to be the yearly average

In the consent decree of 1994 the document talks about extra curriculum activities and mentions Beta Club specifically which is an honor society. It states that the school administrator and principal must have or show and agressive campagin .......I cannot remember the rest

There is a pretty good chance that it is not just my son but other students as well
