The progress made last year as elementary, junior high, and senior high committees was reported by Claudia. It was determined that the next step in our process should be to have a presentation to the math committee on the generic differences between integrated and sequential math programming. Claudia will set that date up with Sharon Stenglein from CFL and notify committee members of that date. The committee discussed existing K-12 strengths and weaknesses about student performance in math in our district to try to determine the impact of previous programming.
