Teachers Will Be Heard--AFTER Board Decrees Standards

COLUMBUS — An award-winning history teacher says he's upset that the state school board is planning a vote on guidelines for teaching social studies before hearing testimony on the proposal.

The board's nine-member standards committee is scheduled to vote tonight to recommend passage of the social-studies standards. The full board will meet Tuesday morning to vote on its intent to pass the proposal. A final vote will come at the board's monthly meeting in December.

Tom Peet, a history teacher at Westerville North High School, said he believes the best strategy is to convince at least five members of the standards committee to make the changes he's after.

But he's not permitted to address the board until a Tuesday afternoon hearing that will take place after the votes by the committee and the full board. . . .
