"The Texas State Board of Education will meet August 1, for a special meeting to discuss Social Studies standards for all K-12 students in Texas public schools. The board will meet to discuss an updated draft of the high school standards that were discussed in June. Additionally, TEA has published the Social Studies standards for students in grades Kindergarten through 7th grade that will be discussed at the SBOE meeting for the first time.
Despite the standards for high school being revised, there are still concerns with the current draft of standards. For more details about what Texas Values testified about in June, contact info@txvalues.org.
It appears that the SBOE is moving forward with getting rid of Texas history for 4th grade students. Students will only have one chance to learn Texas History in 7th grade."
