Board Discusses Science
At Thursday’s state Board of Education meeting, the board welcomed new member Matthew Brown, who was appointed by Gov. Robert Bentley to replace Al Thompson in District 1. Brown’s first meeting and work session were chockfull of topics – from the science course of study, changes to administrative rules and the special session to dyslexic students and a collaborative effort in Alabama to commonly define remediation. Before proceeding with the scheduled meeting agenda, state Superintendent of Education Dr. Tommy Bice acknowledged those who travelled to Montgomery because they mistakenly thought the science course of study was being voted upon at the meeting.
