AUSTIN, Texas (KTRE) - An East Texas legislator has filed a bill which would require state universities to put a class's average grade next to each student's grades on a transcript.

Rep. Joanne Shofner (R-Nacogdoches) has filed HB 316 with the goal of transparency in student transcripts.

The bill calls for all public universities to include the average-grade awarded to all students in the class or median grade for classes in which letter grades are awarded.
