The DC State Board of Education (DCSBOE) will hold a public hearing to review the proposed rearticulation of the science standards.

The hearing will be held on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 at 6 pm at 441 4th Street, NW, in the District of Columbia State Board of Education Chambers, located on the lobby level of the building.

Please review the presentation by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) to the State Board at the February 17, 2010 public meeting. The newly organized science standards documents in grades 5, 8 and biology will establish a more effective assessment system and be a better resource to the District’s local education agencies and teachers.

Constituents who wish to comment at the public meeting are required to notify the State Board of Education by the close of business Tuesday, March 2, 2010 by contacting the Executive Director, Beverley Wheeler, by phone at (202) 741-0884 or by email at [email protected] . Please provide one electronic copy and bring 15 copies to the hearing for the board members to view. 

The hearing will air live on District Knowledge Network (DKN) Comcast Channel 99 and RCN Channel 18.
