State leaders want
to make sure students have all the math skills they need to be successful for
college. The new law now puts the state board of education in charge of
creating a math curriculum, one that will cater to the needs of school
districts around the state.
Part of the law
will include requiring four years of math in high school instead of just three.
The new math curriculum would be available for both middle schools and high
schools.
School districts
would not have to adopt the curriculum if they didn't want to. It will likely
be ready to go by the 2013 school year.
