"VDOE says it doesn't plan to cut advanced math offerings"


Full article at link below, but here's a clip
****************************
State Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane said at a news conference that reports about advanced coursework, referred to as “acceleration,” aren’t “an accurate representation of the discussions that have been happening.”

Lane said agency officials are weighing many shifts among routine draft revisions to state accountability tests.

“Absolutely acceleration is not going away in mathematics courses in Virginia,” he said. “If a student needs an accelerated pathway, they will absolutely be able to do that.”

The confusion comes after Loudoun County School Board member Ian Serotkin shared a Facebook post saying that under the Virginia Mathematics Pathways Initiative — which is an effort among the VDOE, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia and the Virginia Community College system to reimagine math to fit modern jobs — all advanced coursework for math in Virginia would go away before the 11th grade.

That post caught the attention of national reporters, including at Fox News.

“I think the new information they released definitely alleviates much of the concern that I had,” Serotkin said in an interview.
