to Parents for Quality Math Education
At tonight's Board meeting, the Board voted twice. First, they voted
unanimously to adopt the "Action Plan" for supplementing and
augmenting the core math curriculum, and then 6-3 to adopt
Investigations 2 next year. Here is how individual Board members
voted on Investigations 2:
Evans: Yes
Hutchinson: Yes
Madore: Yes
McGloughlin: No
Pawelczyk: No
Queeney: Yes
Roper: Yes
Small: No
Stahl: Yes
Of course it would have been great if the vote had gone the other way,
but the results of this vote are actually very encouraging. In
November, there will be an election that will change the composition
of the Board. Four seats are at stake: "Yes" voters Evans and Queeney
are stepping down and "Yes" voters Hutchinson and Roper are trying to
remain on the Board. You can read the candidate positions for
yourself (below under "Files"), but it's very likely that at a
minimum, the Board will have at least a 5-4 majority of "No" voters
the next time this issue is raised, assuming none of the current "No"
voters have a change of heart.
