We will come back to you with a full report later this week, but I wanted to let everyone know about our busy week. This week both the Basic Education Task Force and State Board of Education meet. It is a dream come true for an education wonk like myself (sadly, I'm only half joking).
Basic Education Task Force: Today, March 24th in Olympia
Here is the agenda [1] and a link to their website. [2]
State Board of Education: Wednesday and Thursday, March 26th and 27th in Renton
Here is the agenda [3]and a link to their website. [4]
Both groups have a lot of ground to cover. Personally, I'm looking forward to hearing testimony on the content of the third year of math at the State Board of Education meeting on Wednesday.
We will have staff attending both meetings. Stay tuned for a full report.
