MIDDLE
SCHOOL MADATE UPDATE...
There have been no changes
in the mandate or in the way schools can
meet it. Home and Career Skills
is required for 3/4 unit for all students
before the end of grade 8;
a certified FACS teacher (or previously certified
Home Economics teacher) is
needed to provide this instruction. If Home and Career Skills
is integrated into another area, the time in that area
must be extended by 30 weeks
and a certified FACS teacher must provide
the instruction (no savings
for a district). All of this is in Commissioner's
Regulation 100.4 Available
at: http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/part100/pages/1004.html
Dear
Current LI FACS Professionals Members,
We are in the process of
updating our current member only email list. Please send any
changes you have regarding your email address to: lifacseducators@gmail.com
Thank you!
