Public feedback sought on high school
math standards in North Carolina
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) is inviting parents, educators and others to provide feedback regarding proposed revisions to the content standards for high school math courses Math I, II and III in North Carolina. The online survey survey is available through May 20. As proposed, the changes could go into effect as early as this fall. NCDPI reviews the state’s Standard Course of Study on a five-year cycle per subject, and mathematics is currently under review. The State Board of Education approves content standards for all subjects. In other news from the State Board of Education, State Superintendent June Atkinson and State Board chair Bill Cobey presented their budget requests to the House Education Appropriations Committee this week. You can read more about it below along with news on Kenan Fellows, North Carolina New Schools and more. As always we welcome your thoughts. Please tweet us @NCSTEM. Enjoy your e-Update!
