04/28/2015


On Friday, April 10th the Utah State Board of Education unanimously approved that a draft of updated Utah state science standards for grades 6-8 be available for a 90-day public review. The State Board is now asking that all interested parties look over the drafts and provide constructive feedback for improving  them.  The drafts and feedback tool are available on the USOE website at: http://schools.utah.gov/CURR/science/Revision.aspx.

Additionally, a representative from the Utah State Office of Education will be holding public meetings throughout the state. The purpose of this meeting will be to collect feedback regarding the new draft 6-8 Utah science standards from interested public. If a member of public desires to provide feedback but cannot make the meeting, we recommend using the online feedback tool available on the USOE website at: http://schools.utah.gov/CURR/science/Revision.aspx.

All meetings will start at 7pm and last at least one hour.
