Science Curriculum Alignment

What the heck is going on with the curriculum alignment in Science?

I can't make heads or tails of it.

Originally, the science curriculum was supposed to be aligned first along with the math curriculum, but then the alignment of the science curriculum was deferred as the state was revising the science Standards and GLEs.

The new state Standards have been set, so the alignment of the science curriculum can now go forward. There is a timetable for the work on the District web site, but it doesn't appear that the District is sticking to the timetable.

The members of the high school science materials adoption committee have been named.

Other than that, it's unclear if anything else on the timetable has actually been done.
