Science teacher urges board to retain current curriculum, says 'what we have is not broken'
Summary
During public comment a science teacher told trustees she supports keeping the district's current science curriculum and warned against changing materials that she said engage students and yield strong results.
A science teacher addressing the Roswell Independent Schools Board of Education urged trustees to keep the district’s current science curriculum rather than adopt a new program.
“From what I see the different options, I do have experience with all of them. And so I'd be happy to share any feedback you guys would like to know,” the teacher said, and added, “I feel like what we have is not broken.” The speaker described bringing STEM opportunities to students, including visits from astronauts and community STEM events.
The speaker asked the board to consider both students and teachers when evaluating new curriculum options and said switching programs would require teachers to relearn materials. The comment was delivered during the public‑comment portion of the meeting; no board action on science curriculum was taken that evening.
