Board Vote on Science Curriculum
In this episode, we recap the discussion from both the March 6, 2025 Board Work Session and the March 17, 2025 Board Meeting around the Science Curriculum Selection. We highlight quotes from the meetings and discuss the why behind the board's vote to reject the recommendation of the committee and select the least popular option instead.
