District news
Nevada board considers new approved materials for high school science
What happened
A Clark County review team recommends that the State Board adopt a range of instructional materials as Tier I options for high school biology, chemistry, physics and geoscience. This is a recommendation for board consideration, not evidence that the materials have been adopted or that schools must use them.
Why it matters to families
If approved, the materials would become state-recognized options for high school science instruction, giving districts and schools new curriculum choices across four core science subjects.
The evidence
The CCSD High School Science Tier I Materials Task Force reported that each listed material met expectations and recommended adoption by the Nevada State Board. The recommendations include several biology, chemistry and physics programs and one Earth and Space Science program; the packet does not establish the Board's final decision or require districts to select a particular option.
