Common Core State Standards Informational Discussion
|
During 2015, the Saginaw County Republican Women's Club will be sponsoring a monthly "Informational Common Core State Standards Open House" at the home of Sandra Kahn, 4520 Midland Road, Saginaw. The meetings will begin at 7:00pm. These meetings will be held regularly on the third Tuesday of each month: the next meeting will be on February 17th.
As of the 2014 school year, Common Core State Standards were mandated for all Michigan Public Schools (and participating Private Schools). Unfortunately, the general public has received sparse information about this significant change in Michigan Education. These open houses are intended to provide CCSS information, share opinions and experiences and to explore legislative options as they relate to "who controls Education in Michigan". Parents, grandparents, teachers and school board members are especially invited! In spite of our Club name, this issue is totally non-parisan and gender neutral.
No reservation needed - just stop in and bring a friend. Contact Sandra Kahn for more information. |
