Retired mathematics teacher Bill Munkacsy, a 12-year veteran of public schools, wrote this letter to the Albemarle County School Board respectfully asking the board to reconsider its new grading policy.
Munkacsy and nine other ACPS teachers signed this letter, which was shared with The I Love CVille Network by three teachers and two parents.
