CSLNet July 2014 SBE Testimony
Currently, the only mention of NGSS/Science in the instructions comes in the form of a citation of Ed Code.
While there is not a science reference, Common Core State Standards and Academic Content Standards are used interchangeably.
Continued to emphasize the need for high-quality STEM education.

LCAP Watch
Developed by Ed Trust-West to serve as repository for LCAPs.
CSLNet has partnered with Ed Trust-West in their effort to provide transparency throughout the LCAP process.
Searchable database accessible to public to read through LCAPs.

Work with Ed Trust-West
Worked with Ed Trust-West to find a representative sample of districts throughout California.
Will go through each LCAP to determine whether STEM/NGSS/Science was mentioned and how it was mentioned.
Provide a report on findings.
Provide regional networks with series of opportunities to get involved with local LCAPs.

Regional Network Involvement
Upload district LCAPs to LCAP Watch.o You do not have to be a district official to upload.
Submit comments to SBE regarding importance of providing clear instructions for STEM and/or NGSS.
Ask district/regional leaders about how they will add STEM/NGSS in the future and their timeline for making those changes.
