CITIZEN ACTION POINTS
A democracy depends upon citizens being involved and informed. Each individual has responsibilities in being an active citizen and cooperative member of society. Each student must complete 6 C.A.P’s for 1st semester. C.A.P’s make up 10% of your semester grade and will be calculated as follows 100% = 6 C.A.P’s 90% = 5 C.A.P’s
