The State - News from July 8, 1986

Junior high and high school students in California would have to maintain a grade point average of 2.0, equivalent to a “C,” before being allowed to participate in sports or other extracurricular activities under legislation approved by the state Senate. The measure, by Assembly Speaker Willie Brown (D-San Francisco), passed on a 22 to 4 vote and was returned to the Assembly. Currently, about half the state’s public school districts maintain the minimum grade requirements called for in the proposed legislation.
