4x4 bill boosts demanded math and science courses

ECISD trustees clash over the 4by4 plan with Doyle Woodall warning the rule will raise dropout rates and burden teachers. Proponents like Debbie Ratcliffe and Vickie Gomez defend the measure as strengthening life readiness, while districts seek resources and clarity for implementation.

Odessa College expands remedial course reach amid student mix

Odessa College reports 1169 students enrolled in developmental courses this spring including locals, out-of-state, and adult returners. Of these, 197 are first time college students. Exemptions rely on COMPASS SAT ACT or THEA scores or college readiness tests. OC and UTPB partner with ECISD to prepare students, facing a shortage of math and science teachers. A new state law requires a fourth year of science and math for 2011 graduates to reduce remedial needs.
