Lakota Seeks Community Feedback on New Science Curriculum Materials
Community members are invited to view the science materials Lakota’s Curriculum and Instruction department will recommend to the Board of Education. A team of Lakota administrators and teachers have vetted several different sources.
The materials will be available for review at Lakota’s Central Office between February 24 and March 20 during regular business hours, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Once visitors have viewed the materials, they are invited to share their feedback with the curriculum department using the electronic form provided at Central Office. The final recommendations will be presented to the Board of Education at its March 23 meeting. The materials will also be on display at Light Up Lakota on March 11 at Lakota East High School.
