WOMEN ON THE WALL RADIO TAKES ON CSCOPE WITH EDUCATION EXPERT DONNA GARNER.
The issue of CSCOPE is very important and Donna Garner does an exceptional job of explaining the history of CSCOPE and why it is so important that we push back against CSCOPE.
You can find out HERE if your district is using CSCOPE!
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
- Importance of the confirmation by the Texas Senate of Barbara Cargill as chair of the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE)
- CSCOPE — a highly questionable curriculum used in almost 80% of Texas public schools – operating under the radar
-
Thomas Ratliff – Registered Lobbyist – SBOE Rep.
Thomas Ratliff – illegal member of the SBOE – registered lobbyist with conflict of interest
Excerpt from letter sent from an SBOE member to Donna Garner, 7.23.11:
Donna,
Thomas Ratliff voted for electronic instructional materials that all require Microsoft software. We even encountered prompts to download Microsoft downloads/updates to access materials. With SB6, the Computer technology lobby bill, the SBOE determines the amount of $$ (50%) distributed to the ASF for district’s instructional material allotment. Ratliff is even on the PSF committee that will develop the recommendation. Senate committee video/ (and registration) will show him testifying that he LOVED this bill.
- Importance of the election of Ken Mercer as Vice Chair of the SBOE Executive Committee
Just Breaking: In response to an e-mail asking Pat Hardy who she would be supporting for vice-chair for the SBOE.
I will be supporting Thomas Ratliff to be selected as vice-chair for the SBOE. Please read the attachment as it addresses false comments that are being sent on the internet.
