What we think: Publishing honor rolls recognizes students

The Jamestown Public School District doesn’t release the names of students on its honor roll. We think the district should reconsider publishing the list. District administrators say the lists are never totally accurate, and because some grades are turned in late, the honor rolls aren’t released until three weeks after students receive their grades. They argue some of the positive enforcement expected in releasing the grades is lost in that time period. We disagree.
