\n10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
\nOrlando Hyatt
\nOrlando International Airport
\n9000 Airport Boulevard
\nOrlando<\/p>\n

Of special note is that there will be a live feed of the meeting over the Internet, and that the Board of Education members are supposed to be watching.<\/p>\n

Any individuals wishing to address the State Board of Education regarding the proposed science standards are invited to speak at the hearing. Speakers will be allotted three minutes each. State Board of Education members will view the hearing via live Web cast or will be presented with a video recording of the entire meeting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently, there will be a link to the feed\u00c2\u00a0at the Florida Department of Education<\/a> website that day.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, many people (especially teachers) will be at work during this hearing. I know I will be. So, who can take the time to attend and speak up for sound science education?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
