For the Education Committee meeting in September, which may be on the fourth Wednesday due to a conflict on the third Wednesday, I am hoping to get a presenter from the San Diego Unified School District to discuss mental health services and serving special needs children.
Our August meeting featured Dr. Wendy Ranck-Buhr, Instructional Support Officer for San Diego Unified School District and Aly Martinez, Instructional Coordinator for Math. They discussed changes in the math curriculum and changes as to how it is taught in the schools. We had an extremely good discussion with many suggestions for improvement, which they seemed receptive to. The meeting was recorded so that Kristen Taketa, the K-12 writer at the San Diego Union-Tribune, could listen to it later, per her request.
