Action item #1 on the agenda for tomorrow's Florida Board of Education meeting is the vote on whether to approve the state's revised science standards.
The revision process began in May, 2007. According to the proposed action item, an affirmative vote will "finalize this process, and the process of turning these new world class standards into quality world class instruction will begin."
That's some optimistic language. Hopefully, it's also prophetic language.
Brandon Haught, communications director for Florida Citizens for Science, will be live-blogging the meeting.
I also seem to remember reading somewhere that tomorrow's meeting will be broadcast on the Internet. If so, look for it here starting at 8:30 am EST.
Will the Florida BoE stand up for REAL science?
Tune in tomorrow to find out!
