Texas education leaders developing new English and reading standards acquiesced Thursday to pressure from teachers and lawmakers, allowing for more Hispanic input.
“I’m pleased that there was a compromise — and that they just didn’t shut out the Hispanic expertise,” said Rene Nuñez, State Board of Education member from El Paso.
The State Board of Education spent hours discussing a new curriculum, defining test standards and the contents of textbooks. Educators and lawmakers had criticized the proposed curriculum, saying it was too prescriptive and ignored Hispanic students’ needs.”*
