  • What happened: The board discussed the implementation of new state science standards in grades kindergarten through eight for the 2025-26 school year.

The Lampeter-Strasburg School District is preparing to implement Pennsylvania's new state science standards, as outlined by Assistant Superintendent Dr. Andrew Godfrey. The new standards, which were adopted in December 2022, aim to integrate engineering design and technology with traditional science education, focusing on three-dimensional learning that includes disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts. Dr. Godfrey emphasized the importance of preparing students for future careers by enhancing their problem-solving skills and understanding of real-world applications. The district plans to update its curriculum, provide professional development for teachers, and ensure that assessments align with these new standards. The transition will be gradual, with full implementation targeted for the 2025-26 school year, and includes community engagement to explain the changes and their benefits.
