Mathematics Curriculum Update

During the 2008-09 school year, Central Valley School District will consider updating the district's current mathematics curricula based on new mathematics standards recently adopted by Washington State. |

K-12 Mathematics Adoption Committee - A 47-member committee comprised of 29 teachers, nine administrators, two representatives from higher education and two from the business community, and five parents will research and analyze mathematics curricula and prepare recommendations for consideration by the School Board. The committee will begin their work in mid-October.

Public Forums: The district will hold a series of "All About Math" public forums for interested stakeholders to learn about math curriculum and provide input on the committee's work, to date. The first forum will be held on November 20 from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. in the board room of the Central Valley School District Learning and Teaching Center, 19307 E. Cataldo.
