Education Service Districts will survey districts to find which districts have aligned their curriculum with the standards and benchmarks and determine which districts need assistance. A system of alignment priorities has been established.
Top priorities are alignment of English and mathematics curriculum.
The second priority is science. The third priority is social science. The due date for the completed application packet is May 8, 1998.
