> Re: Oregon Health Education Content Standards
> 
> The Oregon Department of Education is beginning to develop the Oregon
> Health Education Content Standards as a result of the passage of House
> Bill 2744.  Once the content standards are adopted, school districts and
> public charter schools will be required to offer students instruction in
> health that meet the standards.  A timeline for when school districts and
> public charter schools will be required to implement these standards is
> pending a decision by the State Board of Education later this year.
> 
> To begin the standards development process, the Department of Education is
> looking for nominations for an Advisory Content Panel.  The role of the
> panel is to review and advise through the process of developing the
> Standards.  We are seeking elementary and secondary health educators and
> interested administrators.  Panel members will be selected based on
> qualifications, geographic and grade-level diversity.
> 
> Content panel members will commit to participation in three full day
> meetings at the Oregon Department of Education in Salem from 9 a.m. - 4
> p.m. on:
> 
> Thursday, January 15, 2004
> Thursday, April 8, 2004
> Tuesday, May 25, 2004
> 
> It is expected that the people on the Content Panel attend the entirety of
> all three meetings.  Substitutes and travel expenses will be reimbursed at
> state rates.  
> 
> If you would like to nominate someone, please fill out the attached
> nomination form.  The form should be returned to Tamara Kuenzi at
